FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a window display in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the electronic device 10A displays a plurality of icons I from the first screen 110, and the icons I respectively correspond to programs executed by the processing unit 140. When the detecting module 120 detects that the user moves one icon IA (i.e., the first icon IA) from the icon I to the first side FS of the first screen 110, the processing unit 140 displays a window FWA (i.e., the first window FWA) of a program corresponding to the icon IA on a portion of the second screen 130. In the present embodiment, the first side FS is, for example, a side of the first screen 110 close to the second screen 130, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present invention, the first side is, for example, a side of the first screen 110 away from the second screen 130.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the user drags the icon IA to the first side FS of the first screen 110, the processing unit 140 determines that the dragging operation is the user's intention to display the window FWA on the second screen 130. At this time, the processing unit 140 displays the window FWA with a part of the second screen 130 for the user of the electronic device 10A to view and perform the subsequent operation. In an embodiment of the invention, the processing unit may further determine to display the window FWA in the left half area or the right half area of the second screen 130 according to the drawing IA being dragged to the left half area or the right half area of the first side FS. In the embodiment of fig. 3, since the icon IA is dragged to the left half of the first side FS, the processing unit 140 displays the window FWA corresponding to the procedure of the icon IA in the left half of the second screen 130.
Referring back to fig. 2, when the detecting module 120 detects that a plurality of first icons in the icons are moved to the first side of the first screen 110, the processing unit 140 displays a plurality of first windows of the programs corresponding to the first icons on the second screen 130, and displays at least one scroll bar on the first side of the first screen 110 (step S230). FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a window display according to another embodiment of the present invention. In detail, fig. 3 and 4 are sequential schematic views of window display. As shown in fig. 3, the detection module 120 first detects that the single icon IA is moved to the first side FS of the first screen 110, and at this time, the processing unit 140 displays the window FWA with a part of the second screen 130. Next, as shown in fig. 4, the detection module 120 further detects that another diagram IB (i.e. the first diagram IB) in the diagram I is moved to the first side FS of the first screen 110. At this time, the detecting module 120 has detected that the plurality of icons IA, IB are moved to the first side FS of the first screen 110, and the processing unit 140 further displays the scroll bar SB1 on the first side FS of the first screen 110 in addition to displaying the windows FWA, FWB (i.e. the first window FWB) of the programs corresponding to the icons IA, IB on the second screen 130.
Specifically, the windows FWA, FWB are displayed in the second screen 130 without overlapping. The processing unit 140 displays the windows FWA and FWB in parallel in the second screen 130, so that there is a parallel boundary B1 between the windows FWA and FWB. The scroll bar SB1 is displayed on the first side FS of the first screen 110 corresponding to the juxtaposed boundary B1 between the window FWA and the window FWB. The foregoing embodiment only uses two views IA and IB and two corresponding windows FWA and FWB as examples to illustrate the operation of the window adjusting method, but the invention is not limited thereto. When the detection module 120 detects that three or more icons are dragged to the first side FS of the first screen 110, the processing unit 140 displays a plurality of windows corresponding to the programs of the icons in parallel on the second screen 130, and displays a plurality of scroll bars on the first side FS of the first screen 110 corresponding to the parallel boundaries between two windows, for example.
It should be noted that, when the user drags the icons IA and IB, the user does not necessarily drag the icons IA and IB to the first side FS of the first screen 110 one after another as in fig. 3 and 4, but may drag the icons IA and IB to the first side FS of the first screen 110 at the same time. At this time, after the step S220, the window adjusting method directly performs the step S230 to display the windows FWA and FWB on the second screen 130, and displays the scroll bar SB1 on the first side FS of the first screen 110 corresponding to the parallel boundary B1 between the windows FWA and FWB.
Referring to fig. 2 again, next, the detecting module 120 further detects a relative position of the scroll bar on the first side FS of the first screen 110 (step S240), and then the processing unit 140 adjusts a relative display position of the first window on the second screen according to the relative position of the scroll bar on the first side FS of the first screen 110 (step S250). FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating window adjustment according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 5, in the present embodiment, the processing unit 140 sets a scroll bar SB1 corresponding to the parallel boundary B1 between the windows FWA and FWB. On the first screen 110, the scroll bar SB1 can be moved in parallel on the first side FS by the corresponding operation of the user. When the scroll bar SB1 moves in parallel, the juxtaposed boundary B1 between the windows FWA, FWB moves in parallel on the second screen 130 in the same direction, so that the sizes of the windows FWA, FWB change. In other words, in the present embodiment, the processing unit 140 correspondingly adjusts the size and the position of the windows FWA and FWB on the second screen 130 according to the relative position of the scroll bar SB1 on the first side FS of the first screen 110, so as to change the relative display positions of the windows FWA and FWB. As shown in fig. 5, when the user moves the scroll bar SB1 to the right along the first side FS, the juxtaposed boundary B1 between the windows FWA, FWB corresponds to the second screen 130 moving to the right, so that the window FWA increases and the window FWB decreases.
It should be noted that, when the plurality of scroll bars are disposed on the first side FS of the first screen 110 corresponding to the parallel boundaries between the plurality of windows, the user can also change the ratio of each window on the second screen 130 by adjusting the scroll bars.
In summary, in the window adjustment method and the electronic device thereof provided by the embodiments of the invention, a plurality of icons corresponding to a plurality of programs are first displayed on a first screen, and when a user drags a portion of the icons to a first side of the first screen, the corresponding window is displayed on a second screen, and then a plurality of scroll bars are displayed on a first side of the first screen. By operating the scroll bar, the user can adjust the relative display position of the window on the second screen. Therefore, the user can intuitively and simply adjust the size and the position of the window on the second screen, and the complicated adjusting process is avoided.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and not to limit the same; while the invention has been described in detail and with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; and the modifications or the substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions depart from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
