In an embodiment in accordance with the invention, the operating system 120 of the computing device 100 is configured to perform the task switch method 200 in accordance with the invention. Wherein the operating system 120 of the computing device 100 contains a plurality of program instructions for executing the task switch method 200 of the present invention, so that the task switch method 200 of the present invention can be executed in the operating system 120 of the computing device 100.
Fig. 2 shows a flow chart of a task switching method 200 according to one embodiment of the invention.
As shown in fig. 2, the method 200 begins at step S210.
In step S210, in response to the user invoking the instruction to switch the window, the switch window is displayed on the screen of the computing device, that is, the switch window is presented on the system desktop. The switching window is used for performing the multi-task switching. The switching window comprises task preview images corresponding to a plurality of tasks, wherein each task corresponds to one task preview image.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the plurality of task preview images are arranged in a plurality of rows and columns in the switching window. The task corresponding to the first task preview (first row and first column) in the switching window is a task that is being executed before the switching window is displayed in response to an instruction to call the switching window. The newly opened tasks are ordered starting from the first row and the second column.
In one embodiment, the user may send an instruction to invoke the switch window to the operating system by pressing the operating shortcut key. The operating system may display a switching window for performing a multitasking switch on a screen of the computing device in response to an instruction of the switching window sent by the user by operating the shortcut key.
Subsequently, in step S220, a corresponding reference numeral is assigned to each task, and the reference numeral corresponding to each task is displayed on the task preview image corresponding to the task. Here, by assigning a corresponding label to each task, the label can be used to identify the task on the one hand, and on the other hand, the target task can be switched to more conveniently and quickly according to the label corresponding to the task. In one embodiment, the labels can be allocated to the corresponding tasks based on the arrangement sequence of the task preview images, so that the tasks can be switched more intuitively and clearly for the user.
The label assigned to each task is determined based on the arrangement order of the task preview images corresponding to the tasks in the switching window. Specifically, the plurality of task preview images in the switching window are arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, including, for example, n columns. The task preview image in the first row and the first column is a first task preview image, and the corresponding reference number is 1; the task preview at the second column of the first row is the second task preview, the corresponding task preview at the nth column of the first row (last column) is the nth task preview, and the corresponding reference numeral is n.
According to one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, when assigning labels to a plurality of tasks, firstly, only the labels are assigned to the tasks corresponding to the plurality of task preview images located in the first row, and the labels of the corresponding tasks are displayed on each task preview image of the first row.
In addition, when the user sends the instruction of switching to the next row to the operating system by pressing the direction key, the task corresponding to the task preview images located in the next row may be assigned a label in response to the instruction of switching to the next row sent by the user, and the label of the corresponding task is displayed on each task preview image in the next row. And, the reference numerals displayed on each task preview of the first line (the upper line) are removed. It should be noted that the task assigned to the task corresponding to the task previews in the next row is also from 1 to n, specifically, the task previews in the first column in the next row are the first task previews, and the corresponding reference number is 1; the task preview at the second column of the next row is the second task preview, the corresponding task preview at the nth column (last column) of the next row is the nth task preview, and the corresponding reference numeral is n.
That is, according to the technical scheme of the present invention, the task corresponding to the task preview images in one of the plurality of rows and the plurality of columns is assigned a reference numeral, and the reference numerals are respectively 1 to n, based on the arrangement sequence of the task preview images.
Since the task corresponding to the first task preview (first row, first column) in the switch window is the task being performed before the switch window is displayed. Based on this, in one embodiment of the present invention, after assigning labels to a plurality of tasks corresponding to a plurality of task preview images of a first row, a task corresponding to a second task preview image may be first selected and located. Here, the second task preview is the task preview of the first row and the second column on the switching window, that is, the task preview corresponding to the reference numeral 2. In this way, the user is facilitated to quickly select and locate the target task.
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the location and specific style of labels displayed on the corresponding task preview. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the labels may be displayed in four corner locations on the task preview, such as in the upper left corner.
In yet another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the labels may be displayed on the task preview in the form of watermarks.
Finally, in step S230, the target task is located in response to the user' S selection instruction for the target task based on the tab on the task preview. Therefore, the target task can be further switched to according to the positioned target task, and a window corresponding to the target task is displayed on the system desktop of the screen, so that the rapid switching to the target task is realized.
In one embodiment, the user may send a selected instruction for a target task (i.e., a task corresponding to a reference numeral) to the operating system by pressing a numeric key corresponding to the reference numeral on the task preview. Accordingly, the operating system may respond to a selected instruction for a target task sent by the user by operating the numeric keys corresponding to the labels on the task preview picture and locate the target task.
In one embodiment, the number of columns of the task preview is less than or equal to 9, i.e., n.ltoreq.9. Thus, after the labels are allocated to the tasks corresponding to the task preview images of one row, the labels are respectively 1 to n (n is less than or equal to 9), and thus, the user can conveniently and quickly select and position the target task through the number keys.
According to one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, after the target task is located, a set-top lock button may also be displayed on the task preview corresponding to the target task. Here, the set-top lock button is used to control the set-top display of a task (corresponding window) or to control the task (corresponding window) to be in a locked state. It can be understood that controlling the task to be displayed on top is to display the window corresponding to the task on the top layer of all windows on the desktop of the system. And controlling the task to be in a locking state, namely fixedly displaying a window corresponding to the task on a desktop of the system.
After displaying the set-top lock button, the user may click the set-top button. In one embodiment, the operating system may respond to a user's click of a set-top button and determine whether a set-top locked state task is included in the plurality of tasks, and if a set-top locked state task is included in the plurality of tasks, control the current set-top locked state task to cancel the set-top locked state. It should be noted that the set-top locked state described above is a set-top display or locked state.
In addition, if it is determined that the tasks in the set top locked state are not included in the plurality of tasks, the control target task (corresponding window) is in the set top locked state, that is, the task corresponding to the task preview image in which the set top button is controlled is in the set top locked state. Here, the set-top locked state is a set-top display or locked state.
According to one embodiment, for a task that has been set to a top-locked state, after a switch window is displayed on a screen of a computing device in response to a user invoking an instruction to switch the window, the task that has been set to the top-locked state is first selected and located.
Specifically, after the switching window is displayed on the screen of the computing device in response to the user invoking the instruction to switch the window, if it is determined that the plurality of tasks includes a task in the set-top locked state, the initial display state of the switching window is the task selected and positioned to the set-top locked state. And, the tasks in the set-top locked state are arranged in the first row and the second column, and the newly opened tasks are arranged from the first row and the third column. Here, as shown in fig. 6, for a task in the selected and located set-top locking state, a "release set-top" button may be displayed on a task preview image corresponding to the task, and the user may release the set-top locking state of the task by clicking the "release set-top" button. It should also be noted that if the task in the set-top-locked state is closed, the corresponding task preview is no longer displayed within the switch window.
And if the tasks which do not comprise the set top locking state are determined, selecting and positioning the task corresponding to the second task preview image. Here, the second task preview is the task preview of the first row and the second column on the switching window, that is, the task preview corresponding to the reference numeral 2.
It should be noted that, for a common task, a user needs to switch to a scene of the task for multiple times, and the common task is set to be in a top-setting locking state, so that when the switching window is called each time, the task in the top-setting locking state is selected and positioned by default, and the quick positioning of the common task can be realized, thereby improving the switching efficiency of the user to the task, and enabling the user to have better use experience.
In summary, according to the task switching method, the labels are allocated to the tasks based on the arrangement sequence of the task preview, so that the tasks can be switched to the target tasks more conveniently and rapidly according to the labels corresponding to the tasks, and the user is more visual in operation. In addition, for the scene that the user needs to switch to the common task for many times, the common task can be set to be in a top-set locking state, and when the switching window is called each time, the task in the top-set locking state is selected and positioned by default, so that the quick positioning of the common task can be realized, the switching efficiency of the user to the task is improved, and the user experience is better.
