Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In order to make the difference between the various display modes in the present invention more clearly understood by those skilled in the art, some concepts appearing in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the display modes of the applications may specifically include a simple display mode and a complex display mode, where, referring to fig. 1, a structural diagram is shown in which six applications are respectively displayed on a current screen in the simple display mode. Of course, in order to facilitate normal viewing by the user, a maximum value of the applications displayed in the simple mode in the screen may be set, for example, 6 applications, when the number of the applications exceeds 6, redundant applications displayed in the simple mode are hidden in the expansion areas on the left and right sides or on the top and bottom of the screen, and the hidden applications may gradually replace the applications originally displayed in the screen through a switch command.
The application displayed in the simple display mode is an application loading interface, and the summary information of the application corresponding to the loading interface is displayed in the display window, the function of the application is similar to the icon of the shortcut of the application, but the display content is more specific and more visual than the icon of the shortcut; the application in the simple display mode is displayed in a component state, the application in the simple display mode is also called a component application, a corresponding application program can be loaded by clicking a display area of the component application, and when the application is an internet application, a user can start a web browser by clicking summary information of the component application to display detailed information of the internet service. Since the application of the present invention may actually include a local application and an internet service application, the summary information displayed in the display area is also different. When the component application is a local application, the content displayed in the display area can be an operation interface screenshot of the local application, namely a picture of key information after the local application is intercepted and used as the application display content in a simple display mode; when the component application is an internet service application, the information of the component application on the internet can be acquired in real time/regularly. By real-time/timing updating of the information on the display window, the user can better know the latest internet information according to the display content. In practical application, because the content of the internet update information is rich, the update information with the highest priority of the internet service application can be displayed on the display area according to the priority order, wherein the priority order can be set differently according to practical situations. For example, when the internet service application is a mail service, in the simple display mode, the information that can be displayed includes abstract information such as addressees, senders, mail subjects or mail lists, but detailed information such as text contents of mails is generally not displayed.
The application in the complex display mode may include a normal display mode and a maximum display mode in practice. When the application is a local application, the running content of the running local application can be displayed to a user on an application display interface in a complex display mode; when the application is an internet service application, all application information can be displayed on the application display interface. Referring to fig. 2, it can be seen that the display area of the application displayed in the normal display mode is larger than that in the simple display mode, and meanwhile, the application in the normal display mode can display more application information than that in the simple display mode. Therefore, for the local application, when the component application in the simple display mode is triggered and clicked, the transition from the picture in which the summary information of the local application is intercepted to the running application program is triggered, and for the internet service application, the transition from the summary information of the internet application to the whole information is triggered.
Meanwhile, in fig. 2, a task bar located above the screen is further included, a mode switching button is set on the task bar, when the user triggers the mode switching button, that is, the application receives a mode switching command, the display mode of the application can be switched, and a specific switching process will be described in detail in the embodiment; the task bar may also be provided with other applets, which may or may not be managed by the window manager, and not shown in the figure one by one, and icons of the applets on the task bar are clicked, so that the applets may be displayed in an overlapping manner without changing the display mode of the current application.
It should be further noted in fig. 2 that the display modes of the applications may also include a compact display mode, and each display area shown in the dashed box on the right side of the current screen is an application displayed in the compact display mode. Applications in the compact display mode are also displayed in the component state, and applications in this mode may also be referred to as component applications. The function of the application in the compact display mode is similar to that of the application in the simple display mode, but in the compact display mode, the display content may not be the same as that in the simple display mode, and in the compact display mode, when the display range is small, the display content may be changed according to the range size, and of course, the display content in the compact display mode may be the same as that in the simple display mode. In the compact display mode, a compact list may be set, and when each application is displayed in the compact list, the application may also include two states: in an unfolded or folded state.
It should be noted that the application can be displayed in the normal display mode and the compact display mode on the same interface, that is, the current interface is divided into two regions, one is the normal display region for displaying the application in the normal display mode, and the other is the compact display region for displaying the application in the compact display mode. The following describes the application in the compact display mode and the normal display mode, taking the weather forecast application as an example: for example, when the internet service application in the compact mode is a weather forecast, only the weather condition of the day can be displayed in the compact mode, while the weather information of three days including yesterday, today and tomorrow can be displayed in the simple display mode, and no matter which display mode the weather forecast application is clicked to start, the related linked website of the weather forecast can be directly opened, that is, all the information of the weather forecast is displayed in the normal display mode. It should be noted that, when the same application is displayed in the normal display mode and the compact display mode, respectively, if the user triggers a click operation on the same application in the compact display mode, the content of the application in the corresponding normal display mode can be updated in real time. If the user triggers a click operation in a different application in the compact display mode than in the normal display mode, the application clicked by the user can be opened directly in the normal display mode.
Referring to fig. 3, a schematic diagram of a display interface in the maximized display mode is shown. Therein, it can be seen that maximizing corresponds to displaying one application that is open full screen. Meanwhile, a recovery button can be arranged on the interface with maximized display, and when the user triggers the operation of the recovery button, the current full-screen display can be recovered to other display modes. Regardless of the mode from which the application switches to the maximum display mode, it is desirable to hide other applications that do not need to maximize display.
Referring to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of a structure of a component application when the application is displayed in a simple display mode is shown. Setting a normal display mode switching button on a display interface of the component application, and detecting the state of the normal display mode switching button by the component application manager, so that when a user initiates an operation of clicking the button, the component application manager can start switching of the component application to switch the display mode of the component application to a normal display mode. On the display area of the component application described in fig. 4, internet information updated in real time may be displayed when the component application is an internet service application, or some detailed information may be displayed or a shortcut to load a running local application may be displayed when the component application is a local application. Meanwhile, a component application control button can be further arranged on a display window of the component application, a component application manager detects the state of the button, and when relevant operation initiated by a user is received, the display function of the component application can be closed, function setting of the component application can be called out, or the working state of the current component can be displayed. And the component refreshing button is used for refreshing the content of the display area of the component application when the user triggers the refreshing operation of the button. In practical applications, the component application may include the following operating states: a to-be-loaded state, a normal working state or a setting state; the network service standard display status of the component application may specifically include: a network server component login mode state, a network service component normal mode state, a network service component flight mode state, or a network service component network abnormal mode state. The states of the application in the compact display mode include: an expanded state, a component registration mode state, a component abnormal mode state, or a folded state.
The embodiment of the invention discloses that the current application is switched from the current display mode to the target display mode according to the switching mode indicated by the switching command by receiving the switching command aiming at the display mode of the current application. By switching the display modes, the integrated application can be switched among different display modes, and great convenience is brought to users.
Referring to fig. 5, a flowchart of embodiment 1 of a method for switching a display mode of an application is shown, which may include the following steps:
step 501: and receiving click operation triggered on a mode switching button on the current interface task bar.
In practical applications, after a user clicks a mode switching button, the window manager detects a click operation triggered on the mode switching button, and receives click information of the user. The window manager can acquire the information for switching the display mode in real time through detection. The mode switching button is an independent button on the task bar, when a user clicks, a switching action can be initiated, a switching message is sent to the window manager, and the window manager starts a subsequent switching action.
Step 502: and generating a corresponding switching command according to the specific information of the clicking operation, wherein the switching command is used for indicating switching from the simple display mode to the complex display mode.
The window manager can generate a corresponding switching command according to which mode the window manager switches to by the switching request initiated by the received mode switching button. The window manager can manage the window area needing to be displayed in the current window, the window area needing to be displayed does not belong to the application window with specific attributes, the window manager can control which area of all applications under the current window, the window manager can carry the display information of a complex display mode in a switching command and send the display information to the component application manager, and the component application manager finally carries out corresponding display on each component application under the simple display mode so as to complete the switching of the display mode.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the window manager needs to detect whether there is a display area needed currently, if there is a display area needed currently, the switching command is generated, and if there is no display area needed currently, the detected mode switching request sent by the mode switching button is discarded, that is, the switching process is terminated, which is equivalent to that there is no request operation for starting any display mode switching for the user.
Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the window manager may also start and switch the synchronization actions performed at the same time, for example: playing the scene crossing animation, sound effect, blocking the user input or hiding the application loading bar, etc., but the actions are all preset and stored in the program module of the window manager in advance, and the window manager can call and execute the actions later. And the synchronously performed actions may be subsequently adjusted and modified.
Step 503: and switching the current application from a simple display mode to a complex display mode according to the switching command.
And the component application manager switches the current application from the simple display mode to the normal display mode or the maximized display mode according to the switching command, sends a completion message to the window manager, and displays the application in the current window in the application display mode after the component application manager is switched by the window manager. If it is the normal display mode, the window manager displays the application and the component application in the normal display mode, displaying the current application in an area of the normal display mode. If the mode is the maximized display mode, the window manager displays the current application in full screen.
Preferably, in this embodiment, the method may further include step 504:
step 504: and when the current application is displayed in a normal display mode, displaying the application in the current system in a compact display mode in a compact list, wherein the compact list is any area except a normal display area on the current window.
It should be noted that, the normal display mode and the compact display mode may exist simultaneously, as shown in fig. 2, an area displayed in the compact mode in the compact display mode may be referred to as a compact list, and all applications in the current system, including the current application displayed in the normal display mode, may be displayed in the compact list. Also in this compact list, the individual component applications exist in an expanded or collapsed state. The conversion of the unfolded or folded state of the respective component applications in the compact list is prior art and the invention will not be described in detail here. Meanwhile, when the display is performed in any display mode, the display mode can be controlled first. For the applications displayed in the simple display mode and the compact display mode, the display mode and the position of the applications can be controlled by the component application manager module; and for the application needing to be displayed in the normal display mode or the maximized display mode, the display mode and the position of the application can be controlled by the window manager module.
It should be noted that, step 504 is only executed when the simple display mode or the maximum display mode is switched to the normal display mode, and this embodiment is only put after step 503 for convenience of description, and those skilled in the art can easily know that the steps of this embodiment may be different in different embodiments.
The current state of the mode switching button described in this embodiment is determined by the state information stored therein, and the window manager may change the state information to update the state of the mode switching button. In practical applications, after some applications are opened, the display windows of the applications do not occupy the areas of the display modes, and the window attributes of the special applications are different from the attributes of the application windows in the embodiment of the present invention, so that the applications do not need to trigger the switching action between the display modes when opened.
Referring to fig. 6, in embodiment 2 of the method for switching the display mode of the application according to the present invention, also for switching the current application from the simple display mode to the complex display mode, step 501 and step 502 in embodiment 1 may be replaced by the following steps:
step 601: a click operation triggered on an application currently being displayed in a simple display mode is received.
The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the clicking operation received by the window manager in this embodiment is triggered only when the user clicks the application of the part status display in the simple display mode. When a user clicks any one of the applications in the simple display mode, the clicking operation of the user is detected by the window manager, and the specific clicking operation information of the user is received.
Step 602: and generating a corresponding switching command according to the clicking operation, wherein the switching command is used for indicating switching from the simple display mode to the complex display mode.
The window manager may generate a corresponding switching command according to the received click operation information of the user, for example, switching to a normal display mode or a maximized display mode, if the mode is the normal display mode, the application clicked by the user is displayed in the area of the normal display mode shown in fig. 2, and other applications of the current system may be displayed in a compact list in the compact display mode, or may not be displayed; if the mode is the maximum display mode, the application clicked by the user is displayed to the user in a full screen mode.
Because other processes of this embodiment are similar to those of embodiment 1, other relevant description portions may refer to the description in embodiment 1, and are not described again here.
Preferably, in this embodiment, when the application clicked by the user is displayed in the normal display mode, and simultaneously all applications of the current system are displayed in the compact display mode, this embodiment may further include:
step 603: when any application in the compact display mode generates clicking operation, a corresponding switching command is generated according to the clicking operation, and the switching command is used for indicating that the any application is switched from the compact display mode to the normal display mode.
When a user clicks and starts the component application, the component application is simultaneously switched to the display area of the normal display mode for displaying, namely, the user directly starts the corresponding application through the component application in the compact list, and simultaneously displays the started application in the normal display mode. The operation process does not affect the change of the current display mode, so that the switching between the display modes is not needed.
Referring to fig. 7, which shows a flowchart of embodiment 3 of the method for switching display modes of an application of the present application, compared to embodiment 1, steps 501 and 502 may be replaced by the following steps:
step 701: and selecting a display mode of the application at will according to the application displayed in the display icon form.
In this embodiment, the application loading bar applied to the current window is shown in the form of a display icon, referring to a schematic structural diagram of an actual application loading bar in fig. 1, a circular icon on the application loading bar in fig. 1 is an actual application in the form of a display icon, and the applications on the application loading bar may be respectively opened to any one of display modes: the icon may be in any shape in practical applications, and is not limited to the circular example of the present invention.
In this step, any one of the display modes is selected for the application displayed in the form of the display icon on the application loading bar.
Step 702: and generating an application starting action according to the selected display mode, wherein the application starting action is used for triggering the application to be loaded by taking the selected display mode as the current display mode.
And opening the application by taking the display mode selected in the step 701 as the current display mode, if the display mode is the normal display mode, opening the application in the normal display mode, namely, the current display mode is the normal display mode, and so on.
Step 703: and receiving a click operation triggered on a mode switching button on the task bar in the normal display mode.
Assuming that the display mode selected in step 701 is the normal display mode, in this step, in practical application, the user triggers a click operation on the mode switching button on the taskbar in the normal display mode, and the window manager can obtain the click operation information of the user by detecting an action on the mode switching button in real time.
Step 704: and generating a corresponding mode switching command according to the content of the clicking operation, wherein the mode switching command is used for indicating the switching from the normal display mode to the maximized display mode or the simple display mode.
According to the clicking operation of the user on the opened application in the normal display mode, the window manager generates a corresponding mode switching command, and the mode switching command indicates that the current application is switched from the normal display mode to the maximized display mode or the simple display mode. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the application is switched from the normal display mode to the maximum display mode, the application in the compact display mode needs to be hidden; meanwhile, if the application is switched to the normal display mode for display, the application in the compact display mode needs to be displayed at the same time.
Meanwhile, there are other implementation manners in the practical application for receiving the switching command for the display mode of the current application in the embodiment of the present invention, which are respectively illustrated as follows:
step A1: a maximize operation triggered on an application in a normal display mode is received.
In this embodiment, the user clicks the application maximization button in the normal display mode, or the user activates the normally displayed application in other manners, which is not limited in the present invention.
Step A2: and generating a corresponding maximization switching command according to the maximization operation, wherein the maximization switching command is used for indicating the switching from the normal display mode to the maximization display mode.
Meanwhile, there may be an implementation as follows:
step B1: an application-triggered recovery operation that is currently displayed in a maximized state is received.
Similarly, in this embodiment, the recovery operation may be triggered by the user clicking a recovery button on the maximized display window, or the recovery operation of the maximized display state may be triggered in other manners, which is not limited in the present invention.
