Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
An application program is a computer program designed to perform one or more specific tasks. With the rapid development of internet technology and the increasing demand of people, application programs aiming at various demands are developed. To meet various types of needs, users typically install various types of applications in their computing devices. And in order to improve the convenience of work, a plurality of work areas are often opened, which requires switching between the plurality of work areas. The workspace is a container which can store a plurality of opened application windows, and a plurality of application windows can be opened in one workspace.
In the prior art, a method for switching a working area in an IOS operating system is as follows: in any application window interface, an interface displaying all the created work areas is entered by performing a specific operation on the screen, for example, by triggering Ctrl + × F3 keys or performing a four-finger swipe operation on a touch panel. As shown in fig. 1, all the working areas that have been opened are included in the interface, which are respectively a working area 1-1 and a working area 1-2, all application windows that are opened in the working areas are displayed in the working areas, and switching between the working areas is realized by selecting the working areas, and fig. 1 is a scene of selecting the working area 1-1, where switching between the working areas is realized by selecting the working areas in the current interface by displaying all windows (windows with different numbers, i.e., representing different windows) that are opened in the working area 1-1. Another method is to switch to the target working area by triggering the shortcut key for multiple times on the current display interface. However, since a specific operation is required to enter the working area interface, the switching of the working area is performed on the basis, or the shortcut key needs to be triggered many times to switch to the target working area, which results in low working efficiency and poor user experience.
In addition, in the IOS operating system, all application icons opened in all work areas are displayed in the dock bar, and all opened window suspension frames can be popped up when the mouse cursor moves to the position of the application icon, but the work area to which the window suspension frame belongs cannot be distinguished. When a user needs to switch windows of different working areas, the windows opened in the different working areas cannot be distinguished through the window suspension frame. Currently, the window switching of different working areas can be realized only by entering a working area interface through executing the specific operation and continuously selecting an application program window on the working area interface or by triggering a shortcut key for many times to switch the working area and checking the opened window of each working area so as to select a target window, and the switching efficiency is low.
In order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides a workspace switching method, which is executed in the computing device 200, and the computing device 200 may be implemented as a server, such as an application server, a Web server, etc.; but may also be implemented as a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a processor chip, a tablet computer, etc., but is not limited thereto.

Computing device 200 may also be implemented as a personal computer including both desktop and notebook computer configurations. In some embodiments, the computing device 100 is configured to perform a method 300 of workspace switching in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 3 shows a flow diagram of a method 300 of operating region switching according to one embodiment of the invention. The method 300 is suitable for execution in a computing device 200 (such as the computing device shown in fig. 2), the operating system in the computing device 200 is an IOS operating system, and the method 300 includes steps S310 to S340.
Firstly, when an event for creating a working area is monitored, the working area is created, a unique identifier is allocated to the working area, and at the moment, the window manager can acquire working area information, wherein the working area information comprises working area identifiers, the number of the working areas and the like. By analogy, multiple workspaces may be created.
The event for creating the workspace can be generated when the current display interface triggers the creation of the workspace interface for the user. The creation of the working area is the prior art, and details are not described here, and methods for creating the working area in the prior art are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
The working area identification is unique, plays a role in distinguishing each working area, and can be set according to the actual application scene. For example, the workspace identification may be a color identification, a number identification, a character identification, a random combination of numbers and characters, a random combination of colors and numbers, a random combination of colors and characters, a random combination of colors and numbers, and a random combination of characters.
After creating one or more working areas, when an event of opening an application in any working area is monitored in a display interface of a current working area, step S310 is executed, and icons of all opened applications are displayed in a first preset area of the display interface. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
creating an application program window through a window manager, acquiring an icon of the currently opened application program and an identifier of a working area where the currently opened application program is located, and storing the icon of the application program in association with the identifiers of all windows and working areas opened in the application program. And judging whether the icon which is the same as the currently opened application program exists in the first preset area, if not, displaying the icon of the currently opened application program in the first preset area, and if so, not displaying the icon of the currently opened application program in the first preset area.
That is, icons of all the applications opened in each work area are displayed in the first preset area, and it should be noted that even if a plurality of windows of one application are opened, only one icon of the application corresponding to the plurality of windows is displayed in the first preset area.
In an embodiment, the first preset area is an area always fixedly displayed on the display interface, and the display position may be set according to an actual application scenario, which is not limited in the present invention. For example, the first preset area may be a dock bar of the IOS operating system, and an interface diagram showing icons 4-2 of all applications opened in the working area in the first preset area 4-1 (at this time, the first preset area is located at a lower side position of the display interface) is shown in fig. 4.
Each application window created as described above includes an icon of an application, a window title, and a window thumbnail. The window is a last opened window of the currently opened application program, or may be all opened windows corresponding to the opened application programs. For example, for a browser application, the corresponding window is the last window opened, and for a file management system and a Word application, the corresponding window is all the windows opened. The window thumbnail is a picture of a window opened last time and subjected to compression resolution and quality, or pictures of all opened windows and subjected to compression resolution and quality, and the size of the window thumbnail is reduced compared with that of an original picture so as to achieve the purpose of rapidly browsing the window pictures.
In one embodiment, when an event of closing an application program window is monitored, whether the application program window with the same icon as that of the currently closed application program window exists in all the working areas is judged, if not, the application program does not open any window at the moment, which is equivalent to that the application program is in a closed state, and at the moment, the icon of the currently closed application program window is deleted from the first preset area. If so, it is indicated that an open window still exists in the application program at this time, which is equivalent to that the application program is in an open state, and at this time, an icon of the application program corresponding to the currently closed window is continuously displayed in the first preset area.
Next, when it is detected that the mouse cursor is located in the area to which any application icon in the first preset area belongs, step S320 is executed to create a window suspension frame corresponding to each window opened in the application on the current display interface.
In one embodiment, a window suspension frame corresponding to each window opened in the application program is created in a second preset area of the current display interface by calling the Qwidget interface, that is, at this time, window suspension frames of all opened windows corresponding to the application program icon where the mouse cursor is currently located are created. The window floating box is actually a QWidget. The position of the second preset area may be set according to an actual application scenario, which is not limited in the present invention, for example, the second preset area is a position above the current application icon in the display interface.
And then, executing step S330, respectively displaying the corresponding window and the identifier of the working area where the window is located in each window suspension frame, displaying the identifier of the window and the identifier of the working area where the window is located in each window suspension frame, and determining the working area where the window is located through the identifiers. The placement positions of the window and the working area identifier displayed in the window suspension frame can be set according to an actual application scene, but the invention is not limited to this, for example, the working area identifier is placed at the upper left corner of the window suspension frame, and the window is placed at the center of the window suspension frame.
For example, one window is opened in the pdf application program of the first workspace, one window is opened in the pdf application program of the second workspace, two windows are opened in the pdf application program of the third workspace, the workspace identities are numerical identities (i.e. the identities of the first workspace, the second workspace, and the third workspace are 1, 2, and 3, respectively), the second preset region is a position above the current application icon in the display interface, and the workspace identity is displayed at the upper left corner of the window suspension frame and the window is placed at the center of the window suspension frame. Then, the interface diagram at this time is shown in fig. 5, four window suspension frames 5-2 corresponding to the PDF application icon are displayed in the second preset area 5-1, and each window suspension frame 5-2 includes an identifier 5-2-1 (1, 2, 3, 4, respectively) of the work area and a PDF window 5-2-2 (PDF window 1, PDF window 2, PDF window 3, PDF window 4, respectively).
After the corresponding window and the identifier of the working area where the window is located are displayed in each window suspension frame, when an event triggering any one of the window suspension frames is monitored, for example, when an event clicking any one of the window suspension frames by a mouse is monitored, step S340 is executed to switch the working area to the working area having the same identifier as the currently triggered window suspension frame. Specifically, the working area identifier included in the window floating frame clicked by the current mouse is obtained, and the working area is switched to the working area with the same working area identifier as the currently obtained working area identifier, so that the switching of the working area can be completed.
In order to view the switching of the working areas more intuitively, a switching mode of the working areas can be set, and the switching mode of the working areas can be configured according to the actual application scene, which is not limited by the invention. For example, the work area switching manner may be a sliding manner, that is, switching from the original work area to the currently triggered work area in a sliding manner.
In one embodiment, in order to facilitate a user to determine a working area where the user is currently located more intuitively, after the working area is switched, a selection state is added to the currently triggered window suspension frame, where the selection state is a state of identifying the currently located window suspension frame, so that the user can directly determine the currently triggered window suspension frame and a working area identifier in the window suspension frame on a current display interface, that is, the user can directly determine the currently located working area on the current display interface. The specific display mode of the selected state can be set according to the actual application scene, which is not limited by the invention. For example, taking the suspension frame in the interface diagram shown in fig. 5 as an example, the currently triggered window suspension frame includes the identifier 5-2-1 of the working area and the PDF window 5-2-2 which are respectively 1 and 1, at this time, the currently triggered window suspension frame is identified by the square frame, and the window suspension frame identified by the square frame is filled with the preset color, that is, the window suspension frame is added with the selected state, which is shown in fig. 6 (color is not shown in fig. 6). At the moment, the current working area can be more intuitively checked on the display interface, and the user experience is improved.
In one embodiment, when an event triggering any one of the window suspension frames is monitored, the window is switched to a window corresponding to the currently triggered window suspension frame, so that window switching of different working areas is realized. That is to say, when a window needs to be switched, the application icons displayed on the display interface can be directly triggered, that is, the window suspension frames of all application windows opened in the application can be displayed, and the windows in different working areas can be switched by clicking the window suspension frames belonging to the different working areas. And the user does not need to enter the working area interface first and then select the working area to display all the windows opened therein, and continue to select the windows to complete the switching of the windows. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that the window switching process is simple and convenient, the use convenience is improved, and the window switching efficiency is further improved.
It should be noted that, each time the user opens the application and switches the work area, step S310 to step S340 are executed. And only step S320 to step S340 need to be executed when the user only switches the work areas.
According to the working area switching method provided by the invention, when the mouse cursor is located at the position of any application program icon in the dock bar, the window corresponding to the mouse cursor and the identifier of the working area where the window is located are displayed in each popped window suspension frame, and when any window suspension frame is triggered, the working area is switched to the working area with the same identifier as the currently triggered window suspension frame. Therefore, in the invention, after the window suspension frame is popped up, the switching of the working area can be completed by triggering any window suspension frame of the current display interface, the switching operation is carried out after the working area interface is entered through specific operation, and the shortcut key is not required to be triggered for switching the working area for multiple times. Compared with the prior art, the working area switching method has the advantages that the user does not need to remember shortcut keys and specific operation, the switching process is simple and easy to understand for the user, the switching efficiency is improved, and therefore the office efficiency and the user experience of the user are improved.
