Because the area occupied by the hidden area 3-1 is small, the hidden area 3-1 does not influence the user to browse the current interface content.
And after the first window is created, acquiring second windows of all the opened application programs. It should be noted that the second window is a last opened window of the currently opened application program, and may also be all opened windows corresponding to the opened application programs. For example, for a browser application, the corresponding second window is the last window opened, and for a file management system and a Word application, the corresponding second window is all windows opened.
The second window includes an application icon, an application title, and a thumbnail of the most recently opened window. The window thumbnail is a picture of which the resolution and quality are compressed when the picture of the window is opened last time, and the size of the window thumbnail is reduced to a certain extent compared with that of an original picture, so that the purpose of rapidly browsing the window picture is achieved.

The configuration file is generated in advance, the configuration file includes a corresponding relationship between the first windows and the opening time of the application program window, and the opening time of the window corresponding to each first window may be specifically set according to an actual application scenario, which is not limited in the present invention.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, the window opening duration corresponding to the first window on the left side of the display interface is within 1 hour, the window opening duration corresponding to the first window on the upper side of the display interface is within 1 to 3 hours, the window opening duration corresponding to the first window on the right side of the display interface is greater than 3 hours, and the first window on the left side of the display interface, the first window on the upper side of the display interface and the first window on the right side of the display interface in 1 hour, within 1 to 3 hours and greater than 3 hours are respectively used as the category names corresponding to the first window on the left side of the display interface, the first window on the upper side of the display interface and the first window on the right side of the display interface in fig. 3, so as to obtain fig. 7, each first window in the hidden state in fig. 7, the category name of each first window is displayed in the hidden area of each first window, so that a user can search for application windows of different categories, the efficiency of selecting a target window is improved, and the switching efficiency of an application is improved. It is to be noted that when the first window is in the pop-up state shown in fig. 4 or 5, the name of the first window is not displayed.
Then when the open duration of the application is 1 hour and 20 minutes, it may be determined from the configuration file that the current application window corresponds to the first window on the upper side of the display interface with the open duration of 1-3 hours, i.e., the current application window is attached to the first window on the upper side of the display interface. That is, the second window having an open duration within a time period corresponding thereto is stored in the first window.
After the configuration file is generated, it is stored in a storage device communicatively connected to the computing device 100, in one embodiment, the storage device communicatively connected to the computing device 100 may be a database, further, the database may be a relational database, such as MYSQL, SqlServer, ACCESS, and the like, the database of the storage device may be a local database residing in the computing device 100, or may be disposed at a plurality of geographic locations as a distributed database, such as Hbase and the like; the storage device may also be a cache, such as a redis cache, or the like, and in any case, the storage device is used for storing a configuration file generated in advance in the present invention.

counting the opening time of each second window adsorbed to the first window, and displaying each second window in the first window in a list form according to the sequence of the opening time of each second window from low to high, namely storing the newly opened window (namely the latest opened window) at the first line position of the first window, and otherwise, storing the oldest opened window at the last line position of the first window.
In order to more quickly determine the target window by the user if there are a plurality of second windows stored in the first windows, in another embodiment, the second windows are displayed in the first windows in a list form by:
counting the use frequency (the frequency of opening the windows of the application programs) of the application programs corresponding to the second windows absorbed to the first window, and displaying the second windows in a list form in the first window according to the sequence from high to low of the use frequency of the application programs corresponding to the second windows, namely storing the second window of the application program with the highest open window frequency at the first row position of the first window, and otherwise, storing the second window of the application program with the lowest open window frequency at the last row position of the first window.
It is known that the application window that is opened recently is, perhaps, the application window that the user needs to switch frequently in the recent period of time, or, for the application that is opened frequently, it indicates that the user has a high frequency of accessing the application, that is, the probability of accessing the application is high. Then, the application program window which is opened recently or frequently is stored at the position close to the front position of the first window, so that the user can conveniently select the frequently accessed application program, the efficiency of determining the target application program by the user is improved, and the efficiency of switching the application programs is further improved.
It should be noted that, each time a user opens a new application window, the opened application window is stored in the first window according to the above contents.
It should be noted that the first operation is that the user moves the mouse cursor to the hidden area 3-1 of the first window shown in fig. 3 on the current display interface, and then the step S210 specifically includes: responding to the operation of moving the mouse cursor by the user, judging whether the position coordinate of the current mouse cursor is in the hidden area of any first window, if so, popping up a first window corresponding to the hidden area where the mouse cursor is located. The determination of the position coordinates of the mouse cursor is the prior art, and is not described herein again, which is within the scope of the present invention.
Subsequently, in step S220, any second window in the first window is selected as a target window, and specifically, the user may select any second window in the popped-up first window, that is, the target window. And finally, executing the step S230, and switching the current display interface to the display interface of the target window, thereby realizing the switching of the application program.
It should be noted that, each time the user switches the application program, step S210 to step S230 are executed.
According to the application program switching method provided by the invention, a user can trigger the pop-up of the first window in the current display interface through the mouse, and can switch to the target application program window by directly selecting the target window through the mouse, which is equivalent to that the user can realize the switching of the application program only through the mouse.
In addition, the second windows are stored in the first windows in a classified manner, namely the application program windows are stored in the first windows of the corresponding categories, so that a user can conveniently search the application program windows of different categories, the efficiency of selecting the target window can be improved, and the switching efficiency of the application program is improved again.
In addition, the second windows in the first window are displayed in the first window according to the sequence of the opening duration from low to high or the sequence of the opening frequency from high to low, so that the application programs which need to be opened frequently by a user are arranged at the front position, the user can determine the target window more quickly, and the switching efficiency of the application programs can be further improved.
