This embodiment takes the Android operating system as an example for description, but it should be understood that, except for the specific provision for the Android operating system In addition to the functions described below, the functions described below can be applied to other operating systems.

Optionally, FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a window level switching method according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG. 1, the window level switching method of the embodiment of the present application may include:

In step S110, the non-dedicated display layer in the window mode is used to display at least two windows.

Among them, window mode is one of the modes of application display. In addition, the mode of application display can also include full-screen mode, split-screen mode, picture-in-picture mode, etc., among which the window can be called application window, application window .

Exemplarily, the full-screen mode may be as shown in FIG. 2, where FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the full-screen mode in window level switching according to an embodiment of the present application. The window displayed in the full-screen mode is displayed as the largest on the display. General Android systems (such as Android phones) use full-screen mode.

The split-screen mode may be as shown in Figure 3, where Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the split-screen mode in window level switching provided according to an embodiment of the present application. In the split-screen mode, the screen is set to 1:1/1:2/ The ratio of 2:1 is divided into two parts, and each part displays a window 1 and window 2, which do not overlap each other.

The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode may be as shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a picture-in-picture mode in window level switching according to an embodiment of the present application. In the picture-in-picture mode Next, display another small window 2 on top of a full-screen window 1.

The window mode can be shown in FIG. 5, where FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram 1 of a window mode in a window level switch provided according to an embodiment of the present application. In the window mode, each application has a separate window 1, window 2, Window 3 shows that when the user operates a window, the window will switch to the topmost level. For example, in Figure 5, when the user operates window 3, the window 3 will switch to the topmost layer, as shown in Figure 6, where Fig. 6 is a second schematic diagram of a window mode in window level switching according to an embodiment of the present application.

In this embodiment, at least two display layers are supported in the window mode, where the at least two display layers include at least two of the following: a non-dedicated display layer, a dedicated top display layer for displaying a top window, and a dedicated top display layer for displaying the top window. The bottom dedicated display layer of the bottom window. Optionally, the windows of at least two application programs may be displayed in the window mode, and the at least two windows are first displayed in the non-dedicated display layer when opened. For example, in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, window 1, window 2, and window 3 are located in a non-dedicated display layer for display.

It should be noted that the window of the application in this embodiment may include the window of the system application or the window of other non-system applications, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Step S120: Determine the target window that needs to be displayed on the top or on the bottom among the at least two windows.

In this embodiment, for at least two windows displayed in the non-dedicated display layer, they can be displayed on top or bottom. In this embodiment, the window that needs to be displayed on top or bottom is regarded as The target window.

In a possible implementation, step S120 may further include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S11, detecting the top operation or bottom operation of the user.

In sub-step S12, the window corresponding to the top operation or bottom operation is determined as the target window.

In this embodiment, the target window is a window where the user performs a top operation or a bottom operation on at least two windows displayed in the window mode. In a specific implementation, this embodiment can provide the user with an interface for displaying the window on top or bottom, and the user triggers the interface to trigger the top operation or bottom operation to display the target window on top or bottom. It should be noted that the foregoing interface may specifically be a hardware button or a software icon, which is not limited in this embodiment.

For example, in FIG. 5, if the user triggers a topping operation on window 2, window 2 can be used as the target window.

For another example, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a target window displayed in window mode in a window level switch according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 7, the toolbar of the target window includes a return button "<", Tools such as "application title", "minimize", "full screen", "close", more buttons "...", among which "<" is used to execute the system return button; "application title" refers to the title of the window page ; "Minimize" means to reduce the application to the taskbar, but does not end the process; "Full screen" means to display the window page in full screen; "Close" means to end the application process; "..." means more operations , Including screenshots, horizontal display, top display or bottom display, etc. When the user clicks the top display button, it is determined that the top operation is detected; when the user clicks the bottom display button, it is determined that the bottom operation is detected.

In another possible implementation manner, step S120 may further include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S21, obtaining historical operation records of each window;

Sub-step S22, judging whether the corresponding window needs to be displayed on the top or on the bottom according to the historical operation record;

In sub-step S23, the window that needs to be displayed on top or bottom is used as the target window.

In this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the window needs a top operation or a bottom operation based on the historical operation record of each window. During implementation, the historical operation record of each window can be obtained from the operation log. For example, the historical operation record may include a record of a top operation or a bottom operation. If based on historical operation records, it is determined that the window has been frequently topped or bottomed during a period of time (for example, the number of built-in top operations or bottom operations in a period of time is greater than the preset number of thresholds), then the window can be determined to be performed The target window of the top operation or bottom operation.

For example, in Figure 6, the historical operation records of windows 1-3 can be obtained respectively. If it is determined based on the historical operation records that the number of bottoming operations in window 1 in a week is greater than the set experience value, window 1 can be used as The window that needs to be displayed at the bottom. For another example, if it is determined based on its historical operation records that the number of times that the window 3 has been topped in a week is greater than the set empirical value, then the window 3 can be used as the window to be displayed on top.

This embodiment can automatically determine the target window that needs to be displayed on the top or bottom according to the user's operating habits on each window according to the historical operation record of each window, avoiding the cumbersome steps of requiring the user to manually set the top or bottom of a certain window, and improve The efficiency of window-level operations is improved, and the user experience is improved.

In another possible implementation manner, step S120 may further include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S31, determining the display size of each window;

In sub-step S32, a target window is determined according to the display size and preset hierarchical display rules.

In this embodiment, it can be determined according to the display size of each window whether the current display window needs to be placed on top or bottom. Exemplarily, if the size of the currently displayed window is larger and the sizes of other windows are smaller, the smaller size window can be displayed on top of the corner of the display screen, that is, the smaller size window is used as the target to be displayed on top window. For example, as shown in the schematic diagram of the remote meeting scene shown in Figure 8, the "meeting video window" and "meeting content display window" are opened in window mode on a large-screen device. Since the size of the meeting video window is small, the meeting can be The video window is displayed at the top right corner of the display. This embodiment can automatically determine the target window that needs to be displayed on top or on the bottom in combination with the display size of each window, avoiding the cumbersome steps that require the user to manually set a window on top or bottom, improve the efficiency of window-level operations, and enhance users Experience.

It should be noted that the above exemplarily describes several ways to determine the target window that needs to be displayed on top or bottom, but this embodiment is not limited to the above method, and this embodiment can also adopt other methods according to actual needs. Determine the target window, no more examples here.

In step S130, the target window is switched from the non-dedicated display layer to the top dedicated display layer or the bottom dedicated display layer to display the target window on top or bottom.

In one example, different levels of display layers in window mode can be displayed hierarchically, for example, the top dedicated display layer is displayed at the top of the screen, the bottom dedicated display layer is displayed at the bottom of the screen, and the dedicated display layer between the top and bottom dedicated display layers is displayed. The middle layer between the display layers displays the non-dedicated display layer.

When opening an application window in window mode, you can first display the application window on the non-dedicated display layer, and then determine whether each window needs to be displayed on top or bottom, and needs to be displayed on top or bottom Switch to the top dedicated display layer or bottom dedicated display layer for display.

In an example, it is assumed that it is determined that the window of a certain application program needs to be fixed at the top level. When other windows are operated, the window of the application program will not be covered by other windows. For example, as shown in the schematic diagram of the remote meeting scene shown in Figure 8, on a large-screen device, the user opens the "meeting video window" and "meeting content display window" in window mode, then "meeting video window" and "meeting content display window" It is first displayed on the non-dedicated display layer. If it is detected that the user has performed the top operation of the "meeting video window", the "meeting video window" can be used as the target window to switch from the non-dedicated display layer to the dedicated top display layer for display, as shown in the figure As shown in Fig. 9, Fig. 9 is a second schematic diagram of a remote conference scene in window level switching provided according to an embodiment of the present application, so that the user can also see the video of the remote conference when writing the conference record later.

In another example, assuming that multiple application windows are currently open at the same time, if it is determined that a certain window needs to be fixed at the bottom layer, when the window is operated, other application windows will not be covered. For example, as shown in the schematic diagram of the teacher's teaching scene shown in Figure 10, on the large-screen device, the "draft content window", "teaching PPT window" and "calculator window" are opened in window mode, so that the teacher can display the teaching PPT, On the basis of the tool calculator used in the lecture, some calculation drafts can be written temporarily. The "draft content window", "teaching PPT window" and "calculator window" are first displayed on the non-dedicated display layer. At this time, if the user is detected to bottom the "draft content window", the "draft content window" can be "Window" as the target window, and switch it from the non-dedicated display layer to the bottom dedicated display layer for display.

Of course, if the user wants the "calculator window" to be always displayed at the top level, the "calculator window" can also be switched from a non-dedicated display layer to a dedicated display layer on top for display.

It should be noted that the display layer is a logical concept. In fact, for the user, the user has no sense of the display layer, and the user sees a relatively intuitive window-level display.

In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, when at least two windows are displayed in the window mode, the at least two windows are first displayed in the non-dedicated display layer. After determining the target window that needs to be displayed on the top or bottom, you can Switch the target window from the non-dedicated display layer to the dedicated top display layer or dedicated bottom display layer for top display or bottom display, thereby achieving multi-level display of the application on the basis of the window mode, and The target window can be switched between different display layers to meet the diverse needs of users.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart of a method for window level switching provided by the second embodiment of the present application. This embodiment is a more specific description on the basis of the first embodiment above. With reference to FIG. 11, the method for window level switching provided in this embodiment may specifically include:

In step S210, at least two windows are displayed using the non-dedicated display layer in the window mode.

In a possible implementation manner, step S210 may further include the following sub-steps:

The window tasks corresponding to the at least two windows are added to the window task stack of the window mode.

Among them, the window task stack is the task stack Stack in the window mode.

Optionally, the task stack Stack corresponds to the TaskStack class in WindowManagerService (WMS for short), and if it is in the ActivityManagerService, it corresponds to the ActivityStack class. The role of the task stack Stack is to manage window tasks, and a Stack contains multiple tasks. Among them, Task refers to a series of related ordered Activity collections used to complete a function, which can be understood as a session for a specific function between a user and an application (Application, referred to as App), a window task in this embodiment Task corresponds to a window page. In the implementation, the application can specify which Task the current Activity is running in through android:launchMode in the AndroidManifest.xml file.

In the Android system, you can define the following static task stack Stack, which are:

(1) Desktop Stack, StackId=0, the Stack has only one Task, that is, only one application, and the application is the system desktop program.

(2) Full-screen mode Stack, StackId=1, the Stack is used to accommodate all tasks displayed in full-screen.

(3) Window mode Stack, StackId=2, this Stack is used to accommodate all tasks displayed in windows.

(4) Split screen mode Stack, StackId=3, this Stack is used to accommodate all tasks displayed in split screen.

(5) Picture-in-picture mode Stack, StackId=4, this Stack is used to accommodate tasks for picture-in-picture display.

(6) Recently applied Stack, StackId=5, this Stack is used for the recently opened Task.

In this embodiment, the window task stack is a window mode Stack with StackId=2.

In this embodiment, the non-dedicated display layer in the window mode is used to display at least two windows, which can be implemented as placing the windows Tasks of the at least two windows in the same window task stack, that is, one display layer corresponds to A task stack, a window corresponds to a window task Task.

In the embodiment of the present application, the window task corresponding to the window is added to the window task stack of the window mode StackId=2 by default to realize the default opening of the window mode, which can meet the user's requirement of displaying application windows in the window mode.

Step S220: It is determined whether the dedicated top display layer or the dedicated bottom display layer has been created.

If yes, go to step S240; if not, go to step S230.

As an example, the top dedicated display layer may correspond to the top task stack, and the bottom dedicated display layer may correspond to the bottom task stack.

Optionally, this embodiment may define StackId=6 of the top task stack, which is used to accommodate the tasks of the windows displayed on the top layer; define StackId=7 of the bottom task stack, which is used to accommodate the tasks of windows displayed on the bottom layer.

In an implementation manner, it can be determined whether the top task stack or the bottom task stack has been created by searching whether the StackId of the top task stack or the bottom task stack exists. Optionally, assuming that the system defines StackId=6 for the top task stack and StackId=7 for the bottom task stack, the task stack with StackId=6 or StackId=7 can be found in the StackId of all the created task stacks. To the task stack with StackId=6, it means that the top task stack has been created, that is, the top dedicated display layer has been created. If a task stack with StackId=7 is found, it means that the bottom task stack has been created, that is, the bottom dedicated display layer has been created. Otherwise, if the task stack with StackId=6 or StackId=7 is not found, it means that the top dedicated display layer or bottom dedicated display layer has not been created.

Step S230: Create the top dedicated display layer or bottom dedicated display layer, and continue to perform step S240.

In a preferred embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, step S230 may further include the following sub-steps:

Create a top task stack or bottom task stack in the window mode; set a corresponding task stack identifier for the top task stack or bottom task stack.

In a specific implementation, a dedicated display layer can be created by creating a target task stack Stack of a dedicated display layer. At the same time, a task stack identifier for identifying the top or bottom of the created target task stack needs to be set.

For example, create a top task stack in window mode, and set a task stack identifier StackId=6 for the top task stack; create a bottom task stack in window mode, and set a task stack identifier StackId=7 for the bottom task stack.

In this embodiment, one of the ways to create a task stack Stack can be to call a task stack creation interface provided by the system to create a task stack Stack.

Step S240: Switch the target window from the non-dedicated display layer to the top dedicated display layer or the bottom dedicated display layer to display the target window on top or bottom.

In a preferred embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, step S240 may further include the following sub-steps:

Moving the window task of the target window from the window task stack to the top task stack or the bottom task stack.

In an example, when it is determined that a certain window is a target window that needs to be displayed on top, the window task of the target window can be moved from the window task stack to the end of the top task stack. For example, for the example of FIG. 8 in the embodiment, the process of displaying the conference video window on top may include the following steps:

S1. When the user opens the "conference video window" and "conference content display window" in window mode, the corresponding "conference video window Task" and "conference content display window Task" will be added to the window task stack with StackId=2 by default;

S2. When the user marks the "meeting video window" as the topmost layer, move the "meeting video window Task" from the window task stack to the end of the top task stack with StackId=6, so as to realize the meeting video window in the top display layer display.

In another example, when it is determined that a certain window is a target window that needs to be displayed on the bottom, the window task of the target window can be moved from the window task stack to the end of the bottom task stack. For example, for the example of FIG. 10 in the embodiment, the process of placing the draft content window at the bottom may include the following steps:

S1. The user opens the "draft content window", "teaching PPT window" and "calculator window" in window mode, then "draft content window Task", "teaching PPT window Task" and "calculator window Task" will be added by default Window task stack with StackId=2;

S2. When the user marks the "draft content window" as the bottommost layer, move the "draft content window Task" from the window task stack to the end of the bottom task stack with StackId=7.

Of course, if the user wants the "calculator window" to be always displayed at the top level, the "calculator window Task" can also be moved from the window task stack to the end of the top task stack with StackId=6.

It should be noted that after determining the window level of each window, when the operating system switches to window mode, the window of the bottom dedicated display layer can be rendered first, that is, the window task in the bottom task stack (StackId=7) corresponds to Then render the window of the non-dedicated display layer, that is, the window corresponding to the window task in the window task stack (StackId = 2); finally render the window of the dedicated display layer on top, that is, the window in the top task stack (StackId = 6) The windows corresponding to the tasks can be displayed in different levels.

In this embodiment, each task stack may include at least two window tasks, and the at least two window tasks are arranged in the task stack according to the order in which the user operates the corresponding target window.

Optionally, this embodiment may allow windows of multiple applications to be placed on different display layers, that is, each task stack may contain multiple window tasks. For example, for the example of Figure 8 in the above embodiment, suppose the user also uses the sticky note to record the daily/weekly agenda and displays the sticky note window on top, then the sticky note window Task can also be added to the top task stack Stack to add The memo window is displayed on the top dedicated display layer, as shown in FIG. 12, where FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of the top display in a window level switching method provided according to an embodiment of the present application, which serves as a real-time reminder to the user. For another example, for the example shown in FIG. 10 in the above embodiment, the user needs to play audio when teaching, but the user does not need to display the entire audio playback window on the upper layer. If displayed on the upper layer, the lecture content will be hidden. At this time, the audio playback window can be displayed at the bottom, as shown in Figure 13, where Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of the bottom display in a window level switching method provided according to an embodiment of the application, and the audio can also be displayed at the bottom. The play window Task is added to the bottom task stack Stack. In this case, the bottom task stack can include multiple window tasks.

For a task stack containing multiple window tasks, the window task corresponding to the user's most recently operated target window can be placed at the end of the task stack according to the user's operation sequence on the target window, so that the most recently operated target window is displayed there. Above the target window corresponding to other window tasks in the task stack.
