In an embodiment in accordance with the invention, the operating system 120 of the computing device 100 is configured to perform a window display method 200 in accordance with the invention. Among other things, operating system 120 of computing device 100 contains a plurality of program instructions for performing window display method 200 in accordance with the present invention. It should be noted that the window display method 200 of the present invention is implemented at the operating system 120 level and thus is applicable to windows of any application program.
FIG. 2 shows a flow diagram of a window display method 200 according to one embodiment of the invention. It should be noted that, in the embodiment according to the present invention, one or more application programs are resident in the computing device 100, and when each application program is started, the application program may run on the operating system 120 and display a window of the corresponding application program on the system desktop. One or more applications may be running concurrently on the operating system of computing device 100, and windows for the one or more applications may be presented on the system desktop accordingly.
As shown in fig. 2, the method 200 begins at step S210.
In step S210, one or more icon housing modules are established in a predetermined area on the system desktop, and the icon housing modules can be used for housing windows. Specifically, each icon storage module can store one window, and can establish a one-to-one association relationship with the stored windows.
It should be noted that, when a user uses an application, it is usually necessary to switch between different multiple applications, for example, there may be only one application (for example, various programs for watching videos) that the user mainly uses, and it may be necessary to switch between other applications during the use of the application, in this case, if windows of the respective applications are all presented on a system desktop, a usage space of each application is small, and the system desktop is relatively cluttered, which affects user experience; if the window of the application program is opened during use and minimized when the window is not needed, not only the main application program is interrupted, but also the operation is very inconvenient, and the use efficiency of the user is influenced.
According to the technical scheme of the invention, when a user does not need to use the window of any application program displayed on the current system desktop, the window can be conveniently stored and hidden in the corresponding icon storage module, and when the application program needs to be used again, the window stored in the icon storage module can be displayed on the system desktop under the condition of not interrupting the running of the current application program.
FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a system desktop 300 according to one embodiment of the invention.
As shown in fig. 3, the system desktop 300 includes a window presentation area 310 and a predetermined area 320, and the window presentation area 310 and the predetermined area 320 respectively occupy a portion of the system desktop 300. Wherein a predefined area 320 on the system desktop can establish one or more icon housing modules 340 and a window presentation area 310 on the system desktop can present windows 330 of one or more applications. In this way, the icon housing modules 340 and the windows 330 of the application programs are distributed in different areas on the system desktop 300, and the display of the icon housing modules 340 and the windows 330 of the application programs is not affected by each other, so that each established icon housing module 340 is always displayed on the system desktop 300 and is not blocked by one or more windows presented on the system desktop.
According to one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the predetermined area 320 is an edge area of the system desktop, i.e. an area having a predetermined width from the edge of the system desktop 300, and the predetermined area 320 may be, for example, an upper edge area, a left edge area, a right edge area, and a lower edge area of the system desktop. In addition, the task bar is usually disposed on one of the edge regions of the system desktop 300, and the predetermined region 320 is different from the edge region where the task bar is disposed, for example, when the task bar is disposed on the lower edge region, the predetermined region 320 may be an upper edge region, a left edge region, and a right edge region of the system desktop 300. One or more icon receiving modules 340 are spaced apart in a predetermined area 320 located at the edge of the system desktop.
The window display area 310 for presenting the windows 330 is a middle area of the system desktop 300 except for the edge where the predetermined area 320 and the task bar are arranged, so that the icon accommodating module 340 established in the predetermined area 320 does not affect the display of one or more windows 330. It should be noted that the icon accommodating modules 340 are not necessarily fully distributed in the predetermined area 320, and the specific number and distribution of the icon accommodating modules 340 can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.
According to one embodiment, when a user does not need to use any window of an application program displayed on the current system desktop and wants to hide the window, if the window is not already received by any icon receiving module 340 (i.e. no association with any icon receiving module 340 is established), hiding the window 330 in the icon receiving module 340 can be achieved by dragging the window 330 (e.g. dragging the title bar of the window 330) to any icon receiving module 340.
Subsequently, in step S220, in response to the drag operation of the user dragging the window 330 from the current position to any one of the icon housing modules 340, the operating system may house the window 330 in the icon housing module 340 to hide the window 330 (the window is no longer displayed on the system desktop), and establish an association relationship between the icon housing module 330 and the window 340.
According to one embodiment, the one or more icon storage modules initially (in step S210) established in the predetermined area on the system desktop are icon storage modules of a first predetermined style. After the window is received in any one of the icon receiving modules, the icon receiving module is displayed in a second predetermined style. Here, the present invention does not limit the specific style of the first predetermined style and the second predetermined style, as long as there is a certain style difference between the first predetermined style and the second predetermined style, so as to visually distinguish whether the icon receiving module receives the window.
In one embodiment, the first predetermined pattern includes a first predetermined color and the second predetermined pattern includes the first predetermined color. That is, the first and second predetermined patterns are different in color for distinction. For example, the icon storage module of the non-stored window is light in color, and the icon storage module of the stored window is dark in color, so that whether the icon storage module stores a window or not can be easily visually recognized. It should be noted that the first predetermined color, the specific color type of the first predetermined color, is not limited by the present invention.
According to one embodiment, when a window 330 is received in an icon receiving module 340 and an association relationship with the icon receiving module 340 is established, if a user needs to reuse the window 330 that has received a hidden application program, the window 330 associated with the icon receiving module 330 can be presented again on the system desktop (window display area 310) by triggering the corresponding icon receiving module 330.
Subsequently, in step S230, the operating system presents the window 330 associated with the icon storage module 340 on the system desktop (window display area 310) in response to the user' S trigger operation on the icon storage module 340. Here, the present invention does not limit the specific implementation manner of the user triggering the operation on the icon accommodating module 340. For example, the triggering operation may be that the user moves the focus to the icon storage module by moving a mouse pointer, so that the icon storage module acquires the focus; the trigger operation may be an operation in which the user clicks the icon accommodating module by operating a mouse.
In a preferred embodiment, when a window 330 is received in an icon receiving module 340 and an association with the icon receiving module 340 is established, if the user wishes to present the window 330 again, the user can move the focus to the icon receiving module 340 to effect triggering of the icon receiving module 340. That is, the operation of the operating system in response to the user triggering the icon storage module 340 may be an operation in response to the user moving the focus to the icon storage module 340, and when the icon storage module acquires the focus, the window associated with the icon storage module is presented on the system desktop. It should be noted that, when the focus stays on the icon accommodating module 340 and the icon accommodating module 340 is in the state of acquiring the focus, the window associated with the icon accommodating module 340 will remain in the state of being displayed on the system desktop.
According to one embodiment, when the window 330 associated with the icon housing module 340 is presented in the window display area 310 of the system desktop (the icon housing module 340 is in a state of acquiring focus), if the user does not need to use the window 330 currently, the focus is moved away from the icon housing module 340, that is, the focus is moved to an area outside the icon housing module 340, so that the icon housing module 340 loses focus. The operating system may respond to a user's operation of moving focus away from the icon housing module 340 and, upon confirming that the icon housing module 340 loses focus, re-housing the associated window 330 in the icon housing module 340 based on the association of the icon housing module 340 with the window 330.
According to one embodiment, the present invention, in response to the user moving the focus to the icon storage module 340, presents the window 330 associated with the icon storage module 340 on the top layer of the system desktop (window display area 310) so as to completely display the window of the application program that the user currently needs to use. In particular, the window 330 associated with the icon receiving module 340 is presented in the uppermost layer of the system desktop by being presented over the window presentation area 310 of the system desktop or by being superimposed over one or more windows currently presented on the window presentation area 310 of the system desktop. That is, before the window 330 associated with the icon storage module 340 is presented in the window presentation area 310 of the system desktop, the window presentation area 310 of the system desktop may already present one or more windows of the application program, and in order to completely display the window 330 associated with the icon storage module that the user currently needs to use, the window 330 associated with the icon storage module is presented in the uppermost layer of the window presentation area 310 of the system desktop, so that one or more windows that are currently presented in the window presentation area 310 of the system desktop may be covered.
It should be noted that after the window 330 associated with the icon receiving module is presented on the system desktop, the user can control the process of the application program corresponding to the window based on the window 330. The operating system may receive a control operation of the application program corresponding to the window by the user, where the control operation includes, for example and without limitation, inputting information and clicking an icon control of the application program.
According to one embodiment, after the association relationship between the icon housing module 340 and the window 330 is established, that is, an associated window 330 is already housed in the icon housing module 340, in this case, if the user drags another new window from the current position to the icon housing module 340, the operating system will release the association relationship between the icon housing module 340 and the current window 330 and house the new window in the icon housing module 340 in response to the dragging operation of the user dragging the new window from the current position to the icon housing module 340, thereby hiding the new window, and establish the association relationship between the icon housing module 340 and the new window. In this way, it is ensured that there is only one window associated with the icon housing module 340, and when the icon housing module 340 acquires the focus, the associated unique window is presented.
According to the window display method 200 of the present invention, when the window is initially displayed on the system desktop, if the window needs to be hidden, the window can be hidden by dragging the window to an icon storage module, and meanwhile, the association relationship between the window and the icon storage module is established. The subsequent user can display or hide the window by controlling the movement of the focus, specifically, the associated window can be presented by moving the focus to the icon storage module to enable the icon storage module to acquire the focus, and the associated window can be hidden again by moving the focus to the outside of the icon storage module to enable the icon storage module to lose the focus. Therefore, the display and the hiding of the window can be conveniently controlled, the operation of other application programs cannot be influenced, the use efficiency of a user is improved, and the user experience is better.
In addition, the windows of the application programs which are not used at present are hidden in real time, and the windows are presented when the application programs are needed, so that the windows which are as few as possible are presented on the system desktop under the state that a plurality of application programs are operated, the windows of the mainly used application programs are ensured to occupy larger desktop space, and the user experience is improved.
