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 some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. 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.

The embodiment of the invention provides a window display method, which comprises the following steps: acquiring states of all windows on display equipment, wherein the states comprise a selected state and a non-selected state, and all the windows at least comprise a first window; configuring the window display sequence of all the windows; adjusting all the windows according to the window display sequence to enable the display content of the first window to be displayed completely; and drawing a picture of a display interface in the display equipment based on the adjusted all windows. By the method of the embodiment of the invention, the user can completely view the display content of the window in real time without frequently selecting the window.

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of a method for displaying a window provided by the present invention may include the following steps:

step S110, acquiring the states of all windows on the display equipment, wherein the states comprise a selected state and a non-selected state, and all the windows at least comprise a first window;

step S111, configuring the window display sequence of all windows;

step S112, adjusting all windows according to the window display sequence to enable the content of the first window to be completely displayed;

in step S113, a screen of the display interface in the display device is drawn based on all the adjusted windows.

By the embodiment of the invention, a user can always and completely view the content displayed by the first window in the process of carrying out other window operations. For example, the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to a display device connected to a set-top box, where the set-top box in the prior art cannot support a user to perform operations of other programs while watching a video program, and the user must select to quit video playing and then perform operations such as web browsing. In the embodiment of the invention, the display device can be a display device connected to the set top box, or an all-in-one set top box, a mobile terminal and the like, the mentioned first window can be a video window, and by implementing the embodiment of the invention, a user can watch the video played by the set top box through the display device and simultaneously perform other operations, namely, the complete visual effect of the video window on the display device of the set top box is realized.

In the embodiment of the invention, the states of the window comprise a selected state and a non-selected state, wherein the selected state represents that the user is operating in the window, and the non-selected state is that the user is not currently operating in the window.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the display interface may include an X axis and a Y axis for indicating coordinates of points on a screen displayed on the display interface, and meanwhile, a virtual Z axis pointing vertically to the display interface is further provided in the embodiment of the present invention for expressing an upper-lower layer relationship of windows, for example, an upper layer window is usually a window which is being operated by a user or has just been used up, a larger Z axis coordinate value may be configured for a window located on an upper layer, a smaller Z axis coordinate value may be configured for a window located on a lower layer, and the display device may draw a window according to the Z axis coordinate values of the windows to embody a coverage relationship between the windows. The virtual Z-axis may also point from outside the display device screen to inside the display device screen, and after each window is configured with a Z-axis coordinate value, the size relationship of the Z-axis coordinate values may form a front-back arrangement sequence of the windows, which is referred to as a Z-sequence for short, wherein a window with a relatively large Z-axis coordinate value in the Z-sequence covers a window with a relatively small Z-axis coordinate value.

As an alternative embodiment, when the first window is in the non-selected state, in order to achieve the effect that the display content of the first window is completely visible, the method may be implemented by placing the first window on top of the display device: configuring a window display sequence according to the last use time sequence of all windows; and locking the first window at the uppermost position in the window display sequence.

In a specific implementation, configuring the window display order according to the last usage time sequence of all windows may specifically include: setting a virtual Z axis which points to a display interface vertically, wherein the display equipment draws a picture of the display interface according to the sequence of Z axis coordinate values of a window from large to small; and configuring Z-axis coordinate values for all the windows according to the last use time sequence of all the windows, wherein the coordinate magnitude sequence of all the Z-axis coordinate values forms a window display sequence. As shown in the screen of fig. 7, the user is currently using the application window B, and then the application window B may be configured with a higher Z-axis coordinate value relative to the video window a. The last usage time mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention refers to the time when the user last operates the window, (except for the top window), the window currently operated by the user should be on the top layer, the windows that have not been used for a long time by the user should be sequentially covered, the window that has not been used for the longest time should be on the bottom layer, and the display device should draw the display frames of the display interface in this arrangement order.

In a specific implementation, configuring the window display order according to the last usage time sequence of all windows may further specifically include: setting a virtual Z axis which points to a display interface vertically, wherein the display equipment draws a picture of the display interface according to the sequence of Z axis coordinate values of a window from large to small; and configuring Z-axis coordinate values for all windows according to the window attributes of all windows, wherein the coordinate magnitude sequence of all the Z-axis coordinate values forms a window display sequence. For example, the highest level Z-axis coordinate value may be set for a window of the popup class, the lower level Z-axis coordinate value may be set for a window of the session message class, and the lowest level Z-axis coordinate value may be set for a dialog box class window, as shown in fig. 10, where the application window C belongs to the popup class window, and the application window B is the dialog box class window, and accordingly, the application window C should be configured with the Z-axis coordinate value corresponding to the popup class window, and the Z-axis coordinate value of the application window C is ranked higher than the Z-axis coordinate value of the application window B having the dialog box class window.

Further, the embodiment of the present invention may also support that the display device configures the Z axis coordinate values for the windows by simultaneously adopting two schemes, namely, a last usage time sequence and a window attribute configuration, and the priority principle may be optional, for example, a scheme in which the window attribute configuration scheme is prioritized and the last usage time sequence is rearranged may be adopted, as shown in fig. 10, if the application window B and the application window C belong to pop-up windows at the same time, the Z axis coordinate values at the same level should be configured, and when there are at least two windows at the same level, the Z axis coordinate values at the same level may be rearranged by using the last usage time sequence, for example, when the last usage time of the application window C is 14:00, the last usage time of the application window B is 13: 59, then the application window C should be configured with the higher Z-axis coordinate value in the level and the application window B should be configured with the lower Z-axis coordinate value in the level.

In specific implementation, after the Z-axis coordinate value is initially configured for each window, the first window is locked at the uppermost position in the window display sequence by setting the Z-axis coordinate value of the first window to the maximum value all the time. For example, in the foregoing example, when the video window is used as the first window that needs to maintain the complete visual state, since the video window needs to be set top, the Z-axis coordinate value of the video window is locked to the maximum coordinate value in this step, and then when the display device draws a screen, the video window a is drawn as the top-level window.

Further, when the user performs an operation and application switching occurs, as shown in fig. 7, the application window B is closed, and when the application window E becomes a window currently operated by the user, because the video window a has the largest Z-axis coordinate value as the first window, when the display device draws a screen, the video window a is still placed on top for drawing, and the drawing effect is as shown in fig. 8, and the video window a as the first window is always located on the top layer and is not covered by other applications.

As an alternative implementation, when the video window is in the non-selected state, in order to achieve the effect that the video window is completely visible, the effect that the first window is completely visible may also be achieved by making a window located at an upper layer of the first window transparent, then after configuring the Z-axis coordinate values of the windows according to the last usage time of each window and generating the Z-sequence, the embodiment of the present invention further adjusts all the windows according to the generated Z-sequence, and the specific implementation may include: when refreshing display, acquiring a second window positioned at the upper layer of the first window in the window display sequence by inquiring the Z sequence; and configuring a second window transparency for the second window, and enabling the display device to draw the upper window based on the second window transparency.

In a specific implementation, the second window located at an upper layer position of the first window in the window display sequence may be obtained by obtaining a second window with a Z-axis coordinate value larger than a Z-axis coordinate value of the first window; accordingly, implementations of configuring a second window transparency for a second window may include: acquiring the initial transparency of a second window; and configuring the transparency of the second window based on the preset transparency factor and the initial transparency of the second window. For example, if the user currently operates the application window B, the application window B may be regarded as a second window mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention, which is located on the upper layer of the video window a as the first window, and at this time, the application window B may be transparently implemented to achieve the complete visual effect of the video window a:

in a specific implementation, configuring the transparency of the second window for the application window B as the second window is configured based on the initial transparency of the application window B, where the initial transparency may be an alpha channel value of the window (an alpha channel value of the window is 0% represents that the window is completely transparent, and an alpha channel value of the window is 100% represents that the window is completely opaque), in order to improve a display effect, a transparency factor a is further added in the embodiment of the present invention, so as to adjust the transparency, for example, by querying, the following information may be obtained:

first Window-video Window A, Z_A1 (Z-axis coordinate value of video window a);

second Window-application Window B, Z_B2 (Z-axis coordinate value of application window B), and initial transparency is alpha_B-before；

Choosing the transparency factor A, then the second window-the second window transparency alpha of the application window B_B-afterCan be as follows:

alpha_B-after＝F(alpha_B-before，A)；

wherein, F (alpha)_B-beforeA) the formula can be chosen:

F(alpha_B-before，A)＝100-(100-alpha_B-before)×50％-(100-A)×50％；

through the steps, the transparency alpha of the second window is configured for the application window B as the second window_B-afterAnd according to the configured transparency alpha of the second window_B-afterDrawing the application window B, as shown in fig. 9, when the user performs an operation on the application window B, the user can view both the second window-application window on the upper layer and the video content played by the first window-video window a, and at present, the first window-video window a can be played as a background effect.

Further optionally, the number of windows located on the upper layer of the first window may be multiple, that is, more than two windows in the Z-order that are larger than the Z-axis coordinate value of the first window, for example, when at least a second window and a third window are included, if the Z-axis coordinate value of the second window is larger than the Z-axis coordinate value of the third window, the windows transparency needs to be configured for the windows one by one: acquiring the initial transparency of a second window; acquiring the current transparency of a third window; and configuring the second window transparency of the second window based on the preset transparency factor, the initial transparency of the second window and the current transparency of the third window. For example, reference may be made to the window to be drawn shown in fig. 10 together, and the following information may be acquired:

first Window-video Window A, Z_A1 (Z-axis coordinate value of video window a);

second Window-application Window C, Z_C3 (Z-axis coordinate value of video window C), and initial transparency is alpha_C-before；

Third Window-application Window B, Z_B2 (Z-axis coordinate value of video window B), and initial transparency is alpha_B-before；

Choosing the transparency factor a, then accordingly, one can calculate:

alpha_B-after＝F(alpha_B-before，A)；

alpha_C-after＝F(alpha_B-before，alpha_c-before，A)；

wherein, F (alpha)_B-before，alpha_c-beforeA) the formula can be chosen:

F(alpha_B-before，alpha_c-before，A)＝100-(100-alpha_B-before)×33％-(100-alpha_c-before)×33％-(100-A)×33％；

in addition, alpha is calculated_C-afterAlpha can also be selected_B-afterI.e. by

alpha_C-after＝F(alpha_B-after，alpha_c-before，A)；

Through the steps, the transparent window C of the application window serving as the second window is configured with the transparency of the second windowDegree alpha_C-afterConfiguring a third Window transparency alpha for the application Window B as a third Window_B-after. And according to the configured alpha_B-afterDrawing an application window B according to the configured alpha_C-afterDrawing the application window C, as shown in fig. 11, when the user performs the operation of the second window — the application window C, the user can view the second window — the application window C, and can also view the video content played by the first window — the video window a at the same time, and at present, the first window — the video window a can be played as a background effect.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the selection of the transparency factor may be configured or modified according to actual situations, and the function for calculating the window transparency may not be limited to the example provided in the foregoing embodiment.

Further optionally, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a window adjustment manner for avoiding a user operation focus, so as to achieve an objective that the first window is completely visible, and meanwhile, avoid a problem that the first window blocks a position where the user wants to perform an operation, which affects user experience: acquiring the position of a user operation focus on a picture; judging whether a superposition part exists between the position of the user operation focus and the position of the first window; and when the overlapping part exists between the position of the user operation focus and the position of the first window, moving the first window to the position where the overlapping part does not exist between the position of the user operation focus and the position of the first window.

In a specific implementation, the method for obtaining the position of the user operation focus on the picture may include an automatic focus detection scheme and an application window active notification scheme, where the automatic focus detection scheme is to detect the position of the current user operation focus at each certain time interval or when the display device needs to redraw the picture for displaying the interface; the active notification scheme of the application window is that when the application window responds to the operation of a user and the originally selected focus of the application window is replaced by a newly selected focus, the application window automatically reports to the display device and informs the display device of the position information of the current user operation focus.

In a specific implementation, the determining whether there is an overlapping portion between the position of the user operation focus and the position of the first window may include: acquiring a current picture of a display interface; extracting a possible user operation focus area from a current picture; checking a possible user operation focus area, and determining a point set covered by a user operation focus; acquiring a point set covered by a first window; judging whether an intersection exists between the point set covered by the user operation focus and the point set covered by the first window; if the intersection exists, determining that a superposition part exists between the position of the user operation focus and the position of the first window; or if the intersection does not exist, determining that no overlapped part exists between the position of the user operation focus and the position of the first window.

In an implementation, the detecting the user operation focus may include: presetting a gray gradient value and a color value of a focus frame; and performing boundary extraction operation on the current picture based on the preset gray gradient value and the preset color value so as to obtain the position of the user operation focus.

The gray gradient value and the color value of the predetermined focus frame are obtained by analyzing the focus material selected by the system, such as a plurality of focus frame contrast maps, for example, the focus frame is mostly bright colors such as a red frame, a basket frame, a yellow frame, etc., so the predetermined color value may include red, blue, yellow pixel values.

Further, since there may be a plurality of boundary values analyzed by the boundary extraction operation, only through the foregoing steps, a plurality of possible user operation focuses cannot be considered as user operation focuses at the same time, and at this time, the obtained plurality of possible user operation focuses need to be analyzed: acquiring a history focus area stored in display equipment; and selecting the focus of the area closest to the historical focus area from the possible user operation focus area as the user operation focus. Wherein, the historical focus area may be the previously determined user operation focus, and since the user usually moves the focus through the direction keys of the remote controller, it is most accurate to select the focus closest to the historical focus area accordingly.

In addition, the number of the historical focuses can be multiple, all focuses confirmed by the display device in a period of time are used as the historical focuses to perform selection reference of the user operation focus, at this time, the calculation weight can be configured according to the confirmation time of the historical focuses, and the position of the user operation focus can be analyzed according to the multiple historical focuses. The focus detection program provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be referred to as follows:

according to the scheme provided by the invention, when the first window is judged to cover the user operation focus, the first window is moved to the position which does not cover the user operation focus. After the area of the first window is calculated, according to the coordinate range of the position of the user operation focus, a part of area which can contain the first window and does not cover the user operation focus is selected from the display interface as the moving position of the first window, and drawing operation for displaying the picture of the interface is performed.

Further, when the scheme that the application window actively reports the focus is adopted, after the display device receives the position of the user operation focus reported by the application window, the display device can acquire the area where the first window is located according to the method, judge whether the first window covers the user operation focus, move the first window to the position where the user operation focus cannot be covered after judging that the first window covers the result of the user operation focus, and then perform drawing operation for displaying the picture of the interface.

In a specific implementation, the display device may receive, by configuring an interface inside the display device, a user operation focus switching position reported by the application window:

further, the embodiment of the present invention may also combine the various window visualization schemes provided above:

firstly, the display equipment preferentially adopts a Z-axis coordinate value configured for a window according to a window attribute, and can also adopt a window top-setting scheme to set the first window top from all windows under the window attribute after configuring a window attribute with higher priority for the first window;

based on the combination method of the strategy one, a window avoidance scheme is further adopted, and the first window avoids operating focuses on other windows with the window attribute;

and a second strategy is based on the first strategy or the combination method of the second strategy, a transparent upper layer window scheme is further adopted, and all windows with the window attribute priority higher than the attribute of the first window are subjected to transparency processing.

The above-mentioned multiple window visualization schemes can be combined and selected at will, and when at least two window visualization schemes are adopted, the priority can be configured and selected for the window visualization schemes, so as to ensure the complete visual effect of the first window.

The embodiment of the invention provides a method for setting up the first window of the display device, transparentizing the upper layer window and hiding the operation focus of the user in the first window, so that the complete visual effect of the first window is realized, the user can completely check the display content of the window in real time without frequently selecting the window, and the method has the characteristics of time saving, convenience and good experience effect.

Through the display equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention, a user can completely view the display content of the window in real time without frequently selecting the window.

The technical solution of the apparatus in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.

As shown in fig. 2a, a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: the obtaining module 21, the configuring module 22, the adjusting module 23, and the displaying module 24 may refer to fig. 2a, fig. 2b, fig. 2c, fig. 2d, and fig. 2e together, where the adjusting module 23 may further include an obtaining unit 231 and a configuring unit 232, and the configuring unit 232 may further include an obtaining subunit 2321 and a configuring subunit 2322, and the displaying device according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a determining module 25 and a moving module 26, where the determining module 25 may further include an obtaining unit 251, an extracting unit 252, a verifying unit 253, and a determining unit 254, and the verifying unit 253 may further include an obtaining subunit 2531 and a selecting subunit 2532. Wherein,

an obtaining module 21, configured to obtain states of all windows on a display device, where the states include a selected state and a non-selected state, and all windows at least include a first window;

a configuration module 22, configured to configure the window display order of all windows;

the adjusting module 23 is configured to adjust all windows according to the window display sequence, so that the display content of the first window remains to be completely displayed;

and the display module 24 is configured to draw a picture of a display interface in the display device based on all the adjusted windows.

The display device provided by the embodiment of the invention can support a user to completely view the content displayed by the first window all the time in the process of carrying out other window operations. For example, the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to a display device connected to a set-top box, where the set-top box in the prior art cannot support a user to perform operations of other programs while watching a video program, and the user must select to quit video playing and then perform operations such as web browsing. In the embodiment of the invention, the display device can be a display device connected to the set top box, or an all-in-one set top box, a mobile terminal and the like, the mentioned first window can be a video window, and by implementing the embodiment of the invention, a user can watch the video played by the set top box through the display device and simultaneously perform other operations, namely, the complete visual effect of the video window on the display device of the set top box is realized.

In the display device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the states of the window include a selected state and a non-selected state, where the selected state represents that the user is operating the window, and the non-selected state is that the user is not currently operating the window.

In the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the display interface may include an X axis and a Y axis, which are used to indicate coordinates of points on a displayed screen of the display interface, and meanwhile, a virtual Z axis pointing vertically to the display interface is further provided in the embodiment of the present invention, which is used to express an upper-layer relationship and a lower-layer relationship of windows, for example, an upper-layer window is usually a window that a user is operating or has just used up, a larger Z axis coordinate value may be configured for a window located on an upper layer, and a smaller Z axis coordinate value may be configured for a window located on a lower layer, and the display device may draw a window according to the Z axis coordinate values of the windows to embody a covering relationship between the windows. The virtual Z-axis may also point from outside the display device screen to inside the display device screen, and after each window is configured with a Z-axis coordinate value, the size relationship of the Z-axis coordinate values may form a front-back arrangement sequence of the windows, which is referred to as a Z-sequence for short, wherein a window with a relatively large Z-axis coordinate value in the Z-sequence covers a window with a relatively small Z-axis coordinate value.

As a further alternative, when the first window is in the non-selected state, the configuration module 22 may be implemented by placing the first window on top of the display device of the set-top box, in order to achieve the effect that the first window is completely visible:

a configuration module 22, further configured to lock the first window at the uppermost position in the window display sequence;

or,

the configuration module 22 is further configured to configure Z-axis coordinate values for all windows according to the window attributes of all windows, where the Z-axis is a set virtual coordinate axis that points vertically to the display interface.

Further optionally, the display module 24 is further configured to draw a picture according to a descending order of the Z-axis coordinate value of the window. After configuring the Z-axis coordinate value for each window, the configuration module 22 locks the first window at the uppermost position in the window display sequence by setting the Z-axis coordinate value of the first window to be the maximum value all the time. For example, in the foregoing example, when the video window is used as the first window that needs to be kept in the complete visual state, since the video window needs to be set top, the display module 24 locks the Z-axis coordinate value of the video window to the maximum coordinate value, and then the video window a is drawn as the top-level window when the display device draws a screen.

Optionally, when the first window is in the non-selected state, in order to achieve the effect that the first window is completely visible, the upper window located at the upper layer of the first window may also be made transparent, and then, referring to fig. 2b together, after configuring the Z-axis coordinate values of the windows according to the last usage time of each window and generating the Z-sequence, the adjusting module 23 according to the embodiment of the present invention further adjusts all the windows according to the generated Z-sequence:

an acquiring unit 231 configured to acquire an upper window located at an upper position of the first window in the window display order;

a configuration unit 232, configured to configure a second window transparency for the second window, so that the display device draws the second window based on the second window transparency.

In a specific implementation, the step of obtaining the second window located at the upper layer position of the first window in the window display sequence may be to obtain the second window whose Z-axis coordinate value is greater than the Z-axis coordinate value of the first window:

the obtaining unit 231 is further configured to obtain a second window with a Z-axis coordinate value larger than the Z-axis coordinate value of the first window;

a configuration unit 232, further configured to obtain an initial transparency of the second window; and the display is further used for configuring the transparency of the second window based on the preset transparency factor and the initial transparency of the second window.

Further optionally, the window located at the upper layer of the first window may be multiple, that is, more than two windows larger than the Z-axis coordinate value of the first window in the Z-order, for example, when at least including the second window and the third window, if the Z-axis coordinate value of the second window is larger than the Z-axis coordinate value of the third window, it is necessary to configure window transparencies for the windows one by one, please refer to fig. 2c, the configuration unit 232 in the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

an obtaining subunit 2321, configured to obtain an initial transparency of the second window;

an obtaining subunit 2321, further configured to obtain a current transparency of the third window;

a configuring subunit 2322, configured to configure the transparency of the second window based on the preset transparency factor, the initial transparency of the second window, and the current transparency of the third window.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the selection of the transparency factor may be configured or modified according to actual situations, and the function for calculating the window transparency may not be limited to the example provided in the foregoing embodiment.

Further optionally, the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further implement the purpose that the first window is completely visible through a window adjustment manner for avoiding the user operation focus, and meanwhile, the problem that the user experience is affected by the first window being blocked by the position where the user wants to operate is avoided, please refer to fig. 2d, the display device according to the embodiment of the present invention may further implement the effect that the first window avoids the user operation focus through the obtaining module 21, the determining module 25, and the moving module 26:

the obtaining module 21 is further configured to obtain a position of a user operation focus on the picture;

the judging module 25 is configured to judge whether there is a coincidence portion between the position of the user operation focus and the position of the first window; and is further configured to send a moving message to the moving module 26 when it is determined that there is a coincidence between the position of the user operation focus and the position of the first window;

the moving module 26 is configured to, after receiving the moving message sent by the determining module 26, move the first window to a position where there is no overlapping portion with the position of the user operation focus.

In a specific implementation, the method for acquiring the position of the user operation focus on the picture by the acquisition module 21 may include an automatic focus detection scheme and an application window active notification scheme, where the automatic focus detection scheme is to detect the position of the current user operation focus at each certain time interval or when the display device needs to redraw the picture for displaying the interface; the active notification scheme of the application window is that when the application window responds to the operation of a user and the originally selected focus of the application window is replaced by a newly selected focus, the application window automatically reports to the display device and informs the display device of the position information of the current user operation focus.

Further optionally, referring to fig. 2e together, the determining module 25 in the embodiment of the present invention may further determine whether there is an intersection between the point set covered by the user operation focus and the point set covered by the first window by using the obtaining unit 251, the extracting unit 252, and the determining unit 254:

an obtaining unit 251, configured to obtain a current picture of a display interface;

an extracting unit 252 configured to extract a possible user operation focus area from the current screen;

a judging unit 254, configured to judge whether an intersection exists between the point set covered by the user operation focus and the point set covered by the first window; the first window is used for displaying a first window, and the first window is used for displaying a first window; and when the intersection does not exist, determining that no overlapped part exists between the position of the operation focus of the user and the position of the first window.

In an implementation, the detecting the user operation focus may include: presetting a gray gradient value and a color value of a focus frame; and performing boundary extraction operation on the current picture based on the preset gray gradient value and the preset color value so as to obtain the position of the user operation focus.

The gray gradient value and the color value of the predetermined focus frame are obtained by analyzing the focus material selected by the system, such as a plurality of focus frame contrast maps, for example, the focus frame is mostly bright colors such as a red frame, a basket frame, a yellow frame, etc., so the predetermined color value may include red, blue, yellow pixel values.

Further optionally, because there may be a plurality of boundary values analyzed by the boundary extraction operation, only by the content of the foregoing apparatus, it is not possible to regard a plurality of possible user operation focuses as user operation focuses at the same time, and at this time, it is necessary to analyze the plurality of acquired possible user operation focuses, please refer to fig. 2h, and the verification unit 253 in the embodiment of the present invention may further perform analysis on the user operation focuses by the acquiring subunit 2531 and the selecting subunit 2532:

the possible user operation focus area includes at least 2 areas, and the verifying unit 253 includes:

an acquisition subunit 2531 configured to acquire a history focus area stored in the display device;

a selecting subunit 2532, configured to select, from the possible user operation focus areas, a focus at an area closest to the historical focus area as a user operation focus. Wherein, the historical focus area may be the previously determined user operation focus, and since the user usually moves the focus through the direction keys of the remote controller, it is most accurate to select the focus closest to the historical focus area accordingly.

In addition, the number of the historical focuses can be multiple, all focuses confirmed by the display device in a period of time are used as the historical focuses to perform selection reference of the user operation focus, at this time, the calculation weight can be configured according to the confirmation time of the historical focuses, and the position of the user operation focus can be analyzed according to the multiple historical focuses.

After the area of the first window is calculated, according to the coordinate range of the position of the user operation focus, a part of area which can contain the first window and does not cover the user operation focus is selected from the display interface as the moving position of the first window, and drawing operation for displaying the picture of the interface is performed.

Further, when the scheme that the application window actively reports the focus is adopted, after the display device according to the embodiment of the present invention receives the position of the user operation focus reported by the application window, the display device may obtain the area where the first window is located according to the foregoing method, determine whether the first window covers the user operation focus, and move the first window to a position where the user operation focus is not covered after determining that the first window covers the user operation focus, and then perform the drawing operation for the picture of the display interface.

According to the multi-window display device provided by the embodiment of the invention, the complete visual effect of the first window can be realized by the method of arranging the first window in top, transparentizing the upper window and hiding the operation focus of the user in the first window, the user can also completely check the window display content in real time without frequently selecting the window, and the multi-window display device has the characteristics of time saving, convenience and good experience effect.
