< example >

In this embodiment, a split-screen processing scheme for a light application is provided to solve the problem that, in the prior art, an application interface for displaying the light application in a full screen mode is provided for a user to use, which causes frequent switching of the light application when the user uses a plurality of light applications simultaneously or continuously, so that the user can simultaneously run the plurality of light applications in a split screen mode. When the user uses a plurality of light applications simultaneously or continuously, the light applications do not need to be switched frequently, and the light application experience is improved.

< method >

The light application split-screen processing method provided in this embodiment is applied to an electronic device with a display screen, where the electronic device may be, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a palmtop computer, and the like, and the display screen may be touch-controllable.

The light application split-screen processing method, as shown in fig. 2, includes:

step S2100, in response to an operation of a user requesting to enter a split screen mode, divides the display screen according to a preset split screen rule to obtain a plurality of split screen regions.

Specifically, the operation of the user requesting to enter the split screen mode may be clicking a "split screen mode" button presented on the light application platform interface, such as shown in fig. 3. The light application platform is an application program that provides services of publishing, searching, running light applications, etc., such as a browser or an application program having a browser function. And the user can search, load and run the light application which meets the requirement through the corresponding light application platform. It should be understood that the light application platform as an application needs to provide a service by running on a physical device, for example, an electronic device having a display screen in this embodiment.

Alternatively, an operation corresponding to a user request for entering the split screen mode may be predefined, for example, for an electronic device implementing touch control through a display screen, a touch gesture corresponding to the user request for entering the split screen mode may be predefined, and once it is detected that the touch gesture of the user on the electronic device corresponds to the predefined touch gesture, the user request for entering the split screen mode is regarded as the operation of the user request for entering the split screen mode. According to a specific application scene or user requirements, operation of entering a split screen mode according with a user request is predefined, and personalized requirements of a user can be met.

The screen splitting rule is a rule for dividing a display screen of the electronic device to implement screen splitting processing, and the screen splitting rule is preset before the screen splitting processing is implemented and at least comprises the number of the screen splitting areas and the arrangement mode of the screen splitting areas. For example, the split-screen rule includes that the number of split-screen areas is 2, the arrangement manner of the split-screen areas is horizontal arrangement, and correspondingly, two rectangular split-screen areas with the same size are horizontally (vertically) arranged and obtained by dividing the display screen according to the split-screen rule, as shown in fig. 3; the split screen rule includes that the number of split screen areas is 2, the arrangement mode of the split screen areas is vertical arrangement, and the two split screen areas which are vertically (left and right) arranged and are rectangular are correspondingly obtained by dividing the display screen according to the split screen rule. It should be understood that the examples herein are merely illustrative, the number of the split screen regions may be greater than 2, the arrangement manner of the split screen regions may not be limited to horizontal arrangement, vertical arrangement, and the like, and may also be any arrangement manner meeting the application scene or the user requirement, so that the split screen regions after division may be rectangular regions with different sizes, for example, as shown in fig. 4.

The split screen rule may also include display settings of the split screen region, such as setting a background, a hue, a special effect, and the like of the split screen region, which are not listed herein.

In this embodiment, a setting interface may be further provided for a user to set the split-screen rule, for example, an interface simulating a display screen is provided for the user to divide the display screen through a touch gesture to obtain an arrangement manner of split-screen areas meeting the own requirements, so as to meet personalized requirements.

After dividing the display screen according to a preset screen division rule to obtain a plurality of screen division areas, the method proceeds to step S2200:

Specifically, the light application platform in this embodiment is an application program that provides services of publishing, searching, running the light application, and the like, and for example, the light application platform may be a browser or an application program having a browser function. And the user can search, load and run the light application which meets the requirement through the corresponding light application platform.

The light application search method has the advantages that the display screen is divided to obtain the multiple split screen areas, the light application search interface or the light application interactive interface is displayed in each split screen area, a user can respectively search the light application or run the light application through the multiple split screen areas of the display screen, split screen processing of the light application is achieved, the light application can be switched without frequent operation, the multiple light applications can be used simultaneously or continuously, and light application experience is improved.

In practical applications, a user may not open any light application yet when triggering to enter the split-screen mode, or may have already run a certain light application.

In a scene that a user does not open any light application, a light application search interface of a corresponding light application platform can be displayed in each split screen area, so that the user can search light applications meeting requirements in the multiple split screen areas respectively, and split screen processing of the light applications is achieved.

In a scene that a user runs a certain light application through a corresponding light application platform, an interactive interface of the light application can be displayed in at least one split screen area, and light application search interfaces of the corresponding light application platform are displayed in the other split screen areas, so that the user can continuously run the original light application and simultaneously search light applications meeting requirements in other split screen areas respectively, and split screen processing of the light application is realized.

Therefore, in an example, in the split-screen processing method for the light application provided by this embodiment, the step of presenting the light application search interface or the interaction interface of the light application of the corresponding light application platform in each split-screen area includes:

and/or

The user uses the light application through the light application platform providing the light application searching, loading and running functions, usually, the light application is directly loaded and run after searching, and the application does not need to be installed in advance and unloaded after use.

To address this problem, as shown in fig. 5, in an example of this embodiment, a method for processing split screen of light application is provided, and on the basis of the method shown in fig. 2, the method further includes:

step S2310, after entering the split screen mode, in response to an operation of a user requesting an offline light application, presenting at least one recorded offline light application to the user for the user to select a target offline light application meeting a requirement,

step S2311, replacing the displayed light application search interface or light application interactive interface in at least one of the split screen areas selected by the user, displaying the target offline light application interactive interface,

alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

and step S2312, the display screen is divided again to newly add one split screen area, and an interactive interface of the target off-line light application is displayed.

Specifically, in this example, it may be monitored that the light application running is loaded by the user through the light application platform or the electronic device running the light application platform, and the record is stored as the offline light application in the cache of the light application platform or the local memory of the electronic device.

When receiving an operation response of a user requesting an offline light application, a list of the offline light applications may be popped up on the light application platform interface, and a plurality of offline light applications may be presented to the user, as shown in fig. 6. In addition, when the operation that the user requests the offline light application is not received, the offline light application list may be hidden at the interface border, it should be understood that the manner in which the offline light application is presented here is only illustrative and not limiting, and those skilled in the art may also implement the presentation through various embodiments such as a pop-up dialog box, a switch selection interface, and the like, which are not listed here.

In a specific application, the operation of the user requesting the offline light application may be clicking a button related to presenting the offline light application presented by the light application platform interface, for example, a button related to a light application list as shown in fig. 7.

Alternatively, an operation corresponding to the user requesting the offline light application may be predefined, for example, for an electronic device implementing touch control through a display screen, a touch gesture corresponding to the user requesting the offline light application may be predefined, and the user requesting the offline light application may be considered as the operation upon detecting that the touch gesture of the electronic device by the user corresponds to the predefined touch gesture. According to a specific application scene or user requirements, operation of entering a split screen mode according with a user request is predefined, and personalized requirements of a user can be met.

Specifically, the operation of requesting the offline light application by the user may be defined as a touch gesture performed in a predetermined area of a display screen of the electronic device and sliding in a predetermined direction, for example, a gesture performed in a leftward sliding in an area where the width is 10 pixels and the height is 10 pixels and the angle between the sliding direction and the horizontal direction is less than 45 degrees in the leftmost area of the display screen. When the user-implemented operation, which is a predefined touch gesture, is detected, a pop-up of an offline light application list for user selection of offline light applications may be triggered, or at least one offline light application may be otherwise presented for user selection.

After the user selects the offline light application, the offline light application is directly loaded in this example, so that the interactive interface of the offline light application can be displayed in place of the displayed light application search interface or the interactive interface of the light application in at least one split screen area selected by the user.

For example, an offline light application list may be provided for a user to select an offline light application, after the user selects a target offline light application by clicking an icon of the offline light application, the user may drag and drop the icon of the target offline light application into a certain split screen area through touch dragging operation, and complete selection of the split screen area at the same time, if an interactive interface of another light application is already displayed in the split screen area, the light application is closed and ended, and after the target offline light application is loaded, a corresponding interactive interface is displayed in the split screen area; and if the light application search interface is displayed in the split screen area, the interface is closed, and the target offline light application displays a corresponding interactive interface in the split screen area after being loaded.

Certainly, after the user selects the target offline light application by clicking the icon of the offline light application, the display screen is triggered to be divided again, so that a split screen area is added on the basis of the original split screen area to display the interactive interface of the directly loaded target light application.

In this example, by recording that the user has loaded the running light application once, that is, the offline light application can be displayed to the user for the user to select and then directly load, so as to provide the user with a service of directly using the offline light application, thereby realizing that the user can use the light application with a high demand frequency without searching again through the light application platform, reducing the operation cost of the user, and improving the user experience.

In practical applications, when a user desires to enter a split screen mode to use a light application, a need for using an offline light application also exists.

Therefore, an example is also provided in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, a method for processing split screen of light application is provided, which on the basis of the method shown in fig. 2, further includes:

step S2100-1, when responding to the operation of the user requesting to enter the split screen mode, besides the step of executing the split screen area division, also displaying the recorded at least one off-line light application to the user for the user to select the target off-line light application meeting the requirement, wherein,

step S2200-1, displaying the interactive interface of the target off-line light application in at least one of the multiple split screen areas, and displaying the light application search interface or the interactive interfaces of other light applications in each of the remaining split screen areas.

The operation of requesting to enter the split-screen mode, the step of executing the split-screen area division, and the like may be described in step S2100 shown in fig. 2, and are not described herein again.

The specific implementation of the off-line light application can be described in step S2311 shown in fig. 4, and is not described herein again.

It should be understood that, in this example, the step of dividing the split screen area and the step of displaying the offline light application are not limited to be executed in response to the operation of requesting to enter the split screen mode, and after the step S2100-1 is disclosed in the present invention, a person skilled in the art can easily determine the sequence of executing the two steps according to the specific application requirements without creative labor.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 9, in this embodiment, a "split screen mode" button is provided through the light application platform interface, so that the user can click to request to enter the split screen mode, and after it is monitored that the user clicks the button, an offline light application list can be directly popped up for the user to select, and then the step of dividing the split screen area is executed, so as to implement the split screen processing of the light application; as shown in fig. 10, while the step of dividing the split screen area is performed to display the corresponding interface, an offline light application list may be popped up for the user to select.

After the user selects the offline light application, in this example, the offline light application is directly loaded, so that the interactive interface of the offline light application can be displayed in at least one split screen area of the multiple split screen areas, and if a certain light application is already executed before entering the split screen mode, at least one split screen area of the remaining split screen areas displays the interactive interface of the executed light application, for example, as shown in fig. 8, and of course, if there are other split screen areas, other split screen areas display the light application search interface.

In this example, when entering the split-screen mode, the offline light application is displayed to the user for the user to select and then directly load, so that the user can be provided with a service capable of directly using the offline light application without searching again while the user's demand for processing the light application in a split-screen mode is met, and the user's light application experience is improved.

After the user enters the split screen mode to provide the service of split screen processing light application, in the process of continuously split screen processing light application, there may be requirements such as adding a newly used light application, reducing the number of used light applications, or the arrangement mode or the shape of the split screen area does not meet the changed application requirements, and there is an existing split screen rule which cannot meet the actual requirements of the user.

To address this problem, as shown in fig. 11, in an example of this embodiment, a method for processing split screen of light application is provided, and on the basis of the method shown in fig. 2, the method further includes:

step S2410, after entering the screen splitting mode, responding to the updating operation of the user on the screen splitting rule, and re-dividing the display screen to obtain a plurality of screen splitting areas which accord with the updated screen splitting rule;

step S2420, displaying the light application search interface or the interaction interface of the operated light application in each split screen area.

The update operation of the user on the split-screen rule may be an operation of resetting, by the user, an operation interface provided by the light application platform and used for setting the split-screen rule, where the interface may be used for the user to reset the split-screen rule before entering the split-screen mode or after entering the split-screen mode, for example, to reset the number of split-screen areas, the arrangement manner of the split-screen areas, and the like.

Alternatively, an update operation that meets the user's split screen rule may be predefined, for example, for an electronic device that performs touch control through a display screen, a touch gesture that meets the user's split screen rule may be predefined, and once it is detected that the touch gesture that meets the predefined touch gesture, the user regards as an operation of updating the screen split area by the user. According to a specific application scene or user requirements, operation of entering a split screen mode according with a user request is predefined, and personalized requirements of a user can be met.

Specifically, a gesture that the user slides upwards for a predetermined distance after long pressing for more than a predetermined time in the corresponding split screen region may be predefined as deleting the split screen region, a gesture that the user slides downwards for more than the predetermined distance after long pressing for more than a predetermined time in the central region of the display screen is a newly added split screen region, and after it is detected that the user performs a touch gesture conforming to the predefined touch gesture on the display screen of the electronic device, the corresponding split screen region may be correspondingly deleted or newly added, thereby implementing repartitioning of the display screen to obtain a plurality of split screen regions conforming to the updated split screen rule.

Of course, the user may also update the display effect, the shape, and the like of the split screen area through an operation on the setting interface or other predefined touch gestures, which are not listed here.

And after the screen is re-divided to obtain a plurality of updated split screen areas, displaying the light application search interface or the running interactive interface of the light application in each split screen area.

For example, if the number of the split screen areas is not changed, the arrangement mode or the display effect of the split screen areas is updated, and the like, each split screen area still continues to display the original interface; if the number of the split screen areas is reduced, the split screen areas for displaying the light application search interface are preferentially reduced, so that the updated split screen areas can also continuously display the interactive interface of the original running light application, and in order to avoid the abnormity, the number of the reduced split screen areas can be limited to be not less than the number of the light application which is displayed through the split screen areas before the split screen rule is updated; if the number of the split screen areas is increased, and if the newly added light application to be used does not exist at the same time, the light application search interface can be directly displayed in the increased split screen areas.

In this example, by providing the function of updating the split screen rule after entering the split screen mode, when the user uses the light application in a split screen mode, the user can also divide the display screen again to obtain an updated split screen area for using the light application, so that the user can better meet the user's demand for using the light application in a split screen mode, and the user's light application experience is improved.

In another example, a split-screen processing method for a light application is further provided, so that updating of a split-screen area is provided through simple and convenient operation, and the light application experience of a user is improved. As shown in fig. 12, the method further includes, on the basis of the method shown in fig. 2:

step S2510, after entering the split screen mode, responding to the movement operation of the user on the division line of any two adjacent split screen areas, and adjusting the display proportion of the corresponding two adjacent split screen areas;

step S2520, correspondingly displaying an original interface in each of the adjusted split screen areas.

In this example, there is a division line between any two adjacent divided screen regions, and the division line can move in response to a touch gesture or a click operation of the user.

When the user's movement operation on the division lines of any two adjacent split screen areas is detected, for example, for an electronic device performing touch control through a display screen, it may be predefined that a touch coordinate point of a touch gesture performed by the user falls on the corresponding division line and in a vicinity area below the division line, the division line is operated, and a movement change of the touch gesture performed by the user later, such as a finger sliding, is defined as the movement operation of the division line.

According to the moving operation of a user on the dividing lines of any two adjacent split screen areas, the display proportion of the corresponding two adjacent split screen areas can be adjusted, and in each adjusted split screen area, the original interface is correspondingly displayed according to the adjusted display proportion, so that the application requirement of the split screen area of the user is met.

Specifically, for example, when the split screen regions are arranged in a horizontal direction, it may be predefined that a finger of a user operates the split line when a touch coordinate point of the display screen falls on the split line or when the upper and lower widths of the split line are within a region of a screen pixel width of the display screen with a height of 5 pixels, and once a touch gesture of the user is detected to correspond to the operation on the split line, the moving operation of the user on the split line is tracked, and a coordinate point of a corresponding position when the user stops moving the split line is recorded to update the position of the split line, so as to adjust the display ratio of the corresponding two adjacent split screen regions on the display screen.

For example, the arrangement mode of the split screen regions is horizontal arrangement, the number of the split screen regions is 2, that is, the display screen is divided into two split screen regions with a display ratio of 1:1, when a moving operation of a split line of the two adjacent split screen regions is detected, a coordinate point of a corresponding position when a user stops moving the split line is recorded in response to the operation, and the pixel height H1 of the coordinate point is obtained, and if the pixel height of each original split screen region is H2 and the height of a region occupied by the split line is H3, the adjusted display ratio is H1/(H2-H3).

It should be understood that the above example of adjusting the display scale of two adjacent split screen regions is only illustrative, and those skilled in the art can easily adjust the display scale of the split screen regions without creative modifications corresponding to different split screen rules in a specific application scenario according to this illustrative example.

The foregoing has described, with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, possible embodiments of the present embodiment, which divide, update, or adjust the split screen areas to show the light application running interface or the light application search interface of the light application platform in each split screen area.

After the operation interface of the light application or the light application search interface of the light application platform is displayed in each split screen area, whether a user triggers the event operation of the light application or not can be monitored in real time to respond, and therefore split screen processing of the light application is achieved.

Specifically, this embodiment further provides a split-screen processing method for light applications, as shown in fig. 13, based on the method shown in fig. 2, further including:

step S2610, after entering the split screen mode, in response to an event operation of a light application performed by a user, determining a target split screen region corresponding to the event operation, and distributing the event operation to the light application or the light application platform corresponding to the target split screen region to respond to the event operation;

step S2620, displaying a result interface responding to the event operation in the target screen splitting area.

The event operation of the light application may include an input operation, a click operation, a slide operation, a long press operation, and the like. Different event operations respectively correspond to different events of the light application. The corresponding relation between the event operation and the light application event can be preset according to the application scene or the user requirements so as to meet the requirements of different users.

When the event operation that the operation implemented by the user is the light application is detected, the target split screen area corresponding to the event operation is determined, so that the operation object of the event operation can be determined to be the light application or the light application platform corresponding to the target split screen area, the event operation can be distributed to the corresponding operation object, the corresponding operation object can respond to the event operation, the light application event triggered correspondingly is processed, a result interface responding to the event operation can be displayed in the target split screen area, and the split screen processing of the light application is achieved.

For example, when a user performs a click operation on the display screen with a finger of the user through an electronic device having a display screen capable of performing touch control, the click operation triggers a light application search event, a split screen area in which the click operation falls is a target split screen area, and a light application search interface of a light application platform is displayed in the target split screen area. And distributing the click operation event to a light application platform corresponding to a light application search interface displayed in the target screen splitting area, wherein the light application platform responds to the click operation, triggers and executes light application search, and displays the light application obtained by searching and the loaded running interface in the target screen splitting area.

For another example, when a finger of a user performs a click operation on the display screen, the click operation triggers a light application end event, the split screen area in which the click operation falls is a target split screen area, and the target split screen area shows an operation interface of a certain light application. And distributing the click operation event to a light application in the target split screen area, wherein the light application responds to the click operation, ends the light application and can replace a light application search interface of the light application platform.

It should be understood that the above example of the event operation related to the light application is only illustrative, and those skilled in the art can easily obtain other embodiments without creative adaptation to specific application scenarios according to the illustrative example.
