Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a method for switching display windows and electronic equipment, which are used for optimizing interaction efficiency related to a floating window.

In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for switching a display window, the method being performed by an electronic device, comprising: displaying a full screen window on a screen of the electronic device, wherein the full screen window displays an interface of a first application, and comprises a detection area for receiving user operation; receiving a switching operation input by the user through the detection area, wherein the switching operation is used for switching the interface of the first application from full-screen window display to floating window display; and responding to the switching operation, displaying a floating window, wherein the floating window displays an interface of the first application.

The detection area may be a control area where a control is deployed, and the user may perform a switching operation, for example, a sliding operation, a throwing operation, or the like, in the detection area.

In the implementation manner, the electronic device increases the detection area for the user to operate on the full-screen window, and when the user needs to switch the full-screen window into the floating window, the user only needs to execute operations such as sliding and the like on the detection area, so that the interaction efficiency in the process of switching the full-screen window into the floating window is greatly improved.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the detection area is located at a bottom of the full screen window, and the switching operation includes an upward sliding operation.

With reference to the first aspect and the implementation manner, the electronic device sets the detection area for user operation at the bottom of the full-screen window, which can facilitate the user to execute the switching operation, and further improves the interaction efficiency in the process of switching the full-screen window into the floating window.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the displaying, in response to the switching operation, a floating window includes: the display size of the full screen window is reduced along with the upward sliding operation, a transition window is obtained, and the transition window is moved upward; when the transition window is moved to a preset area of the screen of the electronic equipment, the transition window disappears, the floating window is displayed, and the transition window is a window with a window size smaller than that of the full-screen window. In one implementation, the window size of the transition window may be greater than the window size of the floating window.

After the user inputs the switching operation in the detection area, the size of the full-screen window on the electronic device starts to gradually decrease, and the window at the moment does not occupy the whole screen any more, and is recorded as a transition window, and the transition window moves along the sliding direction of the finger. When the transition window moves to the preset area, the transition window can be switched to the floating window. Therefore, the user can switch the full-screen window into the floating window only by simple sliding operation, and the operation is simple and convenient.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the preset area is an area of a first preset ratio from top to bottom on a screen of the electronic device. The first preset proportion can be 40%, and the preset area is set to be the upper position of the screen of the electronic equipment, so that a user can better operate the process of switching the full-screen window into the floating window.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: and in the process that the transition window is moved upwards, a masking effect is displayed on the screen of the electronic device in the area which is not covered by the transition window. The electronic device can improve the aesthetic property of the display interface by displaying the masking effect on the area which is not covered by the transition window.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementation manners of the first aspect, displaying a floating window when the transition window is moved to a preset area of a screen of the electronic device includes: analyzing the upward sliding operation, and determining the sliding distance of the finger of the user and/or the position of the current touch point in the screen after the upward sliding operation; and if the sliding distance is greater than or equal to a preset distance threshold value and/or the position of the current touch point in the screen is positioned in the preset area, displaying an interface of the first application through the floating window.

With reference to the first aspect and the foregoing implementation manner, the electronic device may determine whether the user's finger slides to the preset area by analyzing the sliding operation, and may display a floating window of the first application when the user's finger slides to the preset area. Therefore, when the user needs to switch the full-screen window into the floating window, the user only needs to execute sliding operation in the detection area, and the interaction efficiency in the process of switching the full-screen window into the floating window is improved.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, before the displaying the floating window when the transition window is moved to the preset area of the screen of the electronic device, the method further includes: when the transition window is detected to be moved to a first area of the screen of the electronic equipment, displaying the transition window and interfaces of other recently operated applications, wherein the first area is positioned below the preset area on the screen of the electronic equipment; and if the transition window is continuously moved upwards, canceling the interface displaying the other application which is recently operated.

In the process that the transition window moves upwards, if the transition window passes through a first area in the middle of the screen, the latest taskbar window can be displayed, and if the user does not need to display a floating window of the first application, the user can leave the hand in the first area, and the electronic equipment displays the latest taskbar window; if the floating window of the first application still needs to be displayed, the sliding upwards is continued. Thus, the operation diversity of the user performing the switching process can be improved.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, a first control is disposed in a detection area of the full-screen window, and the switching operation is an operation input on the first control.

The electronic equipment is provided with a first control in the detection area; optionally, the first control may be a bar, and the user may input the switching operation on the bar, so as to better conform to a usage habit of the user, so as to further improve interaction efficiency in the switching process.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first control is located in a middle position of a detection area of the full-screen window, so as to improve attractiveness of a control deployment effect in the detection area.

In a second aspect, the present application further provides a method for switching a display window, the method being performed by an electronic device, including: displaying a latest taskbar window on a screen of the electronic equipment, wherein the latest taskbar window comprises a picture corresponding to an application which is recently operated in the electronic equipment, and the picture is a screenshot of an interface of the application at the last operation time; receiving a first sliding operation of an upward direction input by a user through a first position of a first picture, wherein the first picture is a picture corresponding to any recently operated application; following the first sliding operation, reducing the display size of the first picture, and enabling the first picture to move upwards; when the first picture is moved to a preset area of a screen of the electronic equipment, a floating window of an application corresponding to the first picture is displayed, and an interface of the application corresponding to the first picture is displayed by the floating window.

The picture corresponding to the application included in the latest taskbar window may also be referred to as a thumbnail. On the interface of the latest taskbar window, if the user wants to display a certain application in the form of a floating window, the thumbnail corresponding to the application can be slid, and when the user slides to the preset area, the floating window of the application is displayed. Therefore, when a user needs to switch an application into a floating window on the latest taskbar window of the electronic device, the user only needs to execute operations such as sliding and the like on the thumbnail of the application, and operations such as exiting of the latest taskbar window are not needed to be executed, so that the interaction efficiency related to the floating window is greatly improved.

With reference to the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, the first position is a position of a first control in the first picture, where the first control is located at a bottom of a full-screen window when the full-screen window displays an application corresponding to the first picture.

With reference to the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, the method further includes: receiving a second sliding operation of the user in an upward direction input through the bottom of the screen of the electronic equipment; and when the fact that the user finger slides to the first area of the screen of the electronic equipment is detected, displaying the latest taskbar window, wherein the first area is positioned below the preset area on the screen of the electronic equipment.

The user can slide upwards through the bottom of the screen to enable the electronic device to display the latest taskbar window, so that the application corresponding to the picture on the latest taskbar window is displayed in a floating window, and interaction efficiency related to the floating window is further improved.

With reference to the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, the method further includes: displaying a full-screen window on a screen of the electronic device, wherein the full-screen window displays an interface of a first application, and the bottom of the full-screen window comprises a first control; receiving a third sliding operation of the user in the upward direction input through the first control; the third sliding operation is followed, the display size of the full-screen window is reduced, a transition window is obtained, and the transition window is moved upwards; and displaying the latest taskbar window when the transition window is detected to be moved to a first area of the screen of the electronic device, wherein the first area is positioned below the preset area on the screen of the electronic device.

The user can slide up through the control on the full-screen window to enable the electronic device to display the latest taskbar window, so that the application corresponding to the picture on the latest taskbar window is displayed in a floating window, and interaction efficiency related to the floating window is further improved.

With reference to the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, the method further includes: and moving the nearest taskbar window downwards while the first picture moves upwards, and displaying a desktop interface of the electronic equipment in an area which is not covered by the nearest taskbar window on the screen.

When the latest taskbar window executes the sliding operation, the thumbnail of the application moves upwards, and the latest taskbar window moves downwards, so that the diversity of the display interface effect of the electronic equipment can be improved.

With reference to the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, if the application corresponding to the first picture is an application that has stopped running, the method further includes: and activating the application corresponding to the first picture.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, or with reference to the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, after displaying the floating window, the method further includes: receiving a sliding operation of the user in any direction input through a detection area in the floating window; and hiding the floating window into the floating ball in response to the sliding operation in any direction.

The detection area of the floating window may also be a control area where a control is deployed. When a user executes sliding operation in the detection area, the floating window can be hidden in the floating ball, so that the diversity of operation for exiting the floating window is improved. Alternatively, when the user inputs a sliding operation to the left, the hover ball may be located at the left side of the screen of the electronic device; when a sliding operation to the right is input, the hover ball may be located on the right side of the screen of the electronic device.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, hiding the floating window into a floating ball in response to the sliding operation in the arbitrary direction includes: detecting the sliding operation in any direction, so that the floating window moves along the sliding direction; and hiding the floating window into a floating ball when the floating window is moved to the edge of the screen of the electronic equipment and the proportion of the windows which are not hidden in the floating window is smaller than or equal to a second preset proportion.

With the combination of the first aspect and the implementation manner, when the user drags the floating window to the edge position of the screen, the floating window can be hidden into the floating ball, and the diversity of the operation of exiting the floating window is also improved.

In some implementations, the detection region of the floating window is located at the top of the floating window. The electronic equipment sets the detection area for the user operation at the top of the floating window, so that the user can conveniently execute the sliding operation, and the interaction efficiency of the operation of exiting the floating window is improved.

In some implementations, a second control is deployed in the detection area of the floating window, and the sliding operation in the arbitrary direction is an operation input on the second control.

The electronic equipment is provided with a second control in the detection area; optionally, the second control may be a bar, and the user may input the sliding operation on the bar, so as to better conform to a usage habit of the user, and further improve interaction efficiency of the operation of exiting the floating window.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Wherein, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise indicated, "/" means or, for example, a/B may represent a or B; "and/or" herein is merely an association relationship describing an association object, and means that three relationships may exist, for example, a and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "plurality" means two or more than two.

The terms "first," "second," "third," and the like, are used below for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first", "a second", or a third "may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such feature.

Currently, a user can hover-start an APP through a sidebar of an electronic device. As shown in FIG. 1, a user may pull up the side application bar 11 when any interface of the electronic device (e.g., a desktop) slides inward from either the left or right side; clicking on the APP icon 12 in the side taskbar 11 may hover the APP. When the electronic device runs an APP with a full screen window, as shown in fig. 2, if the side application bar 11 is pulled up, the icon 12 of the APP in the side application bar 11 is gray, and the user cannot click the icon any more; that is, APP cannot be directly switched to the floating window when running in full-screen window. Then, the user needs to withdraw or close the full-screen window of the APP, then pull up the side application bar 11, click the icon 12 of the APP, and make the APP run in the form of a floating window. From the above, the process of switching the APP from the full-screen window to the floating window is complicated.

In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for switching a display window, which adds a control area for a user to operate on a floating window, so that a user can perform a sliding operation at a preset position in the control area to complete a switching process between the full-screen window and the floating window, thereby greatly improving the interaction efficiency of the switching process. It should be noted that, the method for switching the display window provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to electronic devices which can be provided with an APP and support floating window display, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, vehicle-mounted devices, notebook computers, ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC, netbooks, personal digital assistants (personal digital assistant, PDA) and the like, and the embodiment of the application does not limit the specific type of the electronic devices.

As shown in fig. 3, a full screen window 71 is currently being displayed on the electronic device, and the full screen window 71 runs a first application APP1, for example, the first application is a calculator application. The bottom of the full screen window 71 has a first control area 710, and the user can perform a sliding operation at a preset position within the first control area 710. In one embodiment, the preset position may be a middle position of the first control area 710, and the effect presented to the user may be a first bar (bar) 7101, and the user may press the first bar 7101 to perform an upward sliding operation. In one embodiment, the preset position may be located on the left or right of the first control area 710, or may be represented as a circle or square. In an embodiment, the first control area 710 may also be located at the top or middle position of the full screen window 71, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific position of the first control area 710.

Upon receiving a sliding operation by the user pressing the first bar 7101 upwards, the electronic device may parse and respond to the sliding operation, as shown in fig. 4, by starting to gradually decrease the size of the full screen window 71 on the electronic device, herein referred to as a transition window, which may move following the direction in which the finger slides. In one embodiment, when the electronic device receives a sliding operation that the user presses the first bar 7101 upward, the electronic device may highlight the first bar 7101 to prompt the user to continuously press the first bar 7101, and avoid the finger from sliding out of the area of the first bar 7101. In the process that the size of the transition window gradually becomes smaller, the desktop interface of the electronic device is gradually displayed, that is, the area, which is not covered by the transition window, on the screen of the electronic device starts to display the desktop interface. In one embodiment, the displayed desktop interface may present a masking effect.

The user presses the first bar 7101 to slide upwards, and the electronic device can determine the sliding distance of the finger of the user and the position of the current touch point after the sliding operation by analyzing the sliding operation. With continued reference to fig. 4, when the sliding distance is detected to be greater than or equal to a distance threshold (e.g., 10 cm), and/or the user's finger slides to a preset area, the electronic device may give a prompt to the user to prompt the user to stop the sliding operation and leave the hand. When the electronic device detects an out-of-hand operation by the user, a floating window 72 of the first application APP1 may be presented. In one embodiment, the preset area may be the top half area of the screen of the electronic device, or an area with a preset ratio (e.g. 40%) of the screen from top to bottom. In one embodiment, upon presenting the floating window 72 of the first application APP1, the electronic device may exhibit the effect of springback the reduced-size transition window as described above into the floating window 72. In one embodiment, the prompt given to the user may be a voice message, such as a sound of a "bite," or a vibration prompt.

In one embodiment, after detecting that the finger of the user slides to the preset area, the electronic device may further remove the masking effect of the preset area, and present a desktop interface to further prompt the user to stop the sliding operation. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 5, the user presses the first bar 7101 to slide upward, and when sliding to the upper half of the screen, the upper half of the screen eliminates the masking effect, displays the desktop background, the electronic device sends a vibration prompt, the user stops the sliding operation and leaves the hand, and the electronic device switches the full screen window 71 to the hover window 72. Optionally, the size of the floating window 72 resulting from the first switch is the default size.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the user may further press the first horizontal bar 7101 to perform the upward throwing operation, and when the electronic device parses the throwing operation to obtain that the throwing speed is greater than or equal to the preset speed threshold, it may be determined that the full screen window 71 needs to be switched to the floating window, and then the floating window 72 is displayed.

In one embodiment, the user may also click the first bar 7101 to perform a continuous up-stroke operation, or perform a double-stroke operation on the first bar 7101, and when the electronic device parses the continuous up-stroke operation or the double-stroke operation, it is determined that the operation of switching the full-screen window 71 to the hover window is performed, then the hover window 72 is displayed.

In one embodiment, if the first control area 710 is located at the top of the full screen window 71, as shown in fig. 7, a first bar 7101 is provided in the middle of the first control area 710, and the user may press the first bar 7101 to slide downward. In the process of sliding down, the size of the full screen window 71 on the electronic device starts to gradually decrease and moves along with the direction of sliding the finger, and when the sliding of the finger of the user to the preset area is detected, the electronic device can give a prompt message to the user to prompt the user to stop the sliding operation and leave the hand. When the electronic device detects the hands-free operation of the user, a floating window of the first application APP1 can be displayed. In one embodiment, the preset area may be a lower half area of the screen of the electronic device, or an area of the screen with a preset proportion (e.g., 40%) from bottom to top. In one embodiment, the prompt information given to the user may also be a voice message or a vibration prompt.

In one embodiment, after the electronic device has switched full screen window 71 to hover window 72, the user may click on the APP icon on the desktop interface below hover window 72, thereby opening the full screen window corresponding to APP, at which point hover window 72 hovers over this full screen window. And the floating window and the full-screen window run in different applications, so that a user can copy and forward the information of the application in the floating window to the application in the full-screen window, or copy and forward the information of the application in the full-screen window to the application in the floating window, thereby improving the efficiency of information interaction between the two applications.

In the embodiment, the electronic device adds the control area for the user to operate on the full-screen window, and when the user needs to switch the full-screen window into the floating window, the user only needs to execute operations such as sliding at the preset position of the control area, so that the interaction efficiency in the process of switching the full-screen window into the floating window is greatly improved.

In one embodiment, the electronic device may continue to resolve the sliding operation when a user presses the first bar 7101 upward. When the touch point of the user finger reaches the first area, for example, the first area is an area in the middle of the screen of the electronic device, and is generally below the preset area, the electronic device may display a recent task bar content window, where the content window displays all applications that have recently run in the electronic device, and the applications are displayed in the form of corresponding thumbnails, and the background effect of the thumbnails may be a masking effect, where the thumbnails are screen shots of the interface of the recently run reference at the last running time. Alternatively, the recently executed applications may include applications that are currently still in a background running state, as well as applications that have stopped running. At this time, if the user continues to press the first bar 7101 to slide upward, as one possible way, as shown in fig. 8, the thumbnails of the rest of the applications except the first application APP1 disappear, and the size of the transition window of the first application APP1 continues to shrink; when the above-mentioned preset area is reached, the masking effect in the preset area is eliminated, the desktop background is displayed, the user stops the sliding operation and leaves his hand, and the electronic device switches the full-screen window 71 to the floating window 72 after receiving the leaving hand operation.

As another achievable way, as shown in fig. 9, the thumbnails of the rest of the applications except the first application APP1 do not disappear, but the thumbnails of the rest of the applications gradually drop down together with the background of the masking effect; after the sliding transition window reaches the preset area, the thumbnails of the rest of the applications and the background of the masking effect drop below the preset area to prompt the user to stop the sliding operation and leave the hand, and the electronic device switches the full-screen window 71 to the floating window 72.

In another scenario, if the electronic device displays the content window, the user does not press the first bar 7101 to slide upwards any more, but performs the leave operation, the electronic device may respond to the leave operation and continue to display the content interface. Therefore, the method provides the user with the selectivity of various displays so as to improve the use experience of the user.

In one embodiment, the electronic device may split-screen display windows of a plurality of applications on a current screen, where (a) in fig. 10 is a split-screen window in a vertical screen state of the electronic device, and (b) in fig. 10 is a split-screen window in a horizontal screen state of the electronic device. In the embodiment of the present application, 2 application windows are displayed on a split screen, where the two windows are a second window 73 of a second application APP2 and a third window 74 of a third application APP3, for example, the second application is an email application, and the third application is a memo application. The bottom of the second window 73 and the third window 74 also each have a first control area 710 where a user can perform a sliding operation at a first bar 7101 position within the first control area 710. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 11, when the user presses the first bar 7101 on the third window 74 to slide upwards, the second window 73 remains unchanged or presents a masking effect, and when the third window 74 slides to the upper half area of the screen, the electronic device gives a vibration prompt, the user stops the sliding operation and leaves the hand, and the electronic device switches the third window 74 to the corresponding floating window 75; at this time, the second window 73 is displayed in the form of a full-screen window as a background of the floating window 75. Alternatively, the user may press the first bar 7101 of the third window 74 to perform a throwing operation, a continuous swiping operation, or a double-click operation, and when the electronic device receives any one of these operations, the third window 74 may be switched to the floating window 75, and the second window 73 may be displayed as a full-screen window as a background of the floating window 75. Therefore, on the split screen display interface of the electronic equipment, a user can still quickly switch the display window into the floating window, and the interaction efficiency of the switching process is improved.

In one embodiment, if the electronic device is currently in a content window that presents thumbnails of all applications in the electronic device that have been recently run, the background effect of the thumbnails may be a masking effect, and the applications are run in a full screen window when recently run. The user can slide left and right over the content window to select an application to switch to a floating window. As shown in fig. 12, the user selects the thumbnail 76 of the first application APP1, because the thumbnail is a picture, the user cannot operate the corresponding application area in the picture, so that the user can click any position of the thumbnail 76 to slide upwards, and when the user slides to a preset area (such as 40% of the area of the screen from top to bottom), the electronic device can receive the sliding operation, and in response to the operation, the first application APP1 corresponding to the thumbnail 76 is further operated in the form of a floating window 72. Alternatively, the electronic device may also give the user a voice prompt or a vibration prompt when the thumbnail 76 is slid to the preset area. In one embodiment, since the thumbnail of the application is a screenshot of the interface at the last runtime, the first control is displayed on the thumbnail, and the user may click on the location on the thumbnail where the first control is located to perform the up-slide operation. In one embodiment, if the application corresponding to the thumbnail selected by the user is an application that has stopped running, the electronic device needs to activate and start the application first, and then run the application in a floating window.

As one way of implementation, when the user clicks the thumbnail 76 of the first application APP1 to slide upward, the thumbnails of the rest of the applications except the first application APP1 disappear, and the size of the thumbnail 76 of the first application APP1 gradually decreases; when the above-mentioned preset area is reached, the masking effect in the preset area is eliminated, the desktop background is displayed, the user stops the sliding operation and leaves his hand, and the electronic device receives the leaving hand operation and then runs the first application APP1 in the form of the floating window 72. As another implementation, when the user clicks the thumbnail 76 of the first application APP1 to slide upward, the thumbnails of the rest of the applications except the first application APP1 do not disappear, but the thumbnails of the rest of the applications gradually drop downward along with the background of the masking effect; when the sliding thumbnail 76 reaches the preset area, the thumbnails of the other applications and the background of the masking effect drop below the preset area, the user stops the sliding operation and leaves the hand, and the electronic device runs the first application APP1 in the form of the floating window 72 after receiving the leaving operation, and simultaneously the thumbnails of the other applications and the background of the masking effect (i.e., the content window) are eliminated.

In one embodiment, the user may slide up through the bottom edge of the screen of the electronic device, and when slid to the first area, the closest taskbar window described above may be displayed. In another embodiment, the user may slide up by clicking the first control under the full screen window of an application through the process described in fig. 8, and when sliding to the first area, the latest task window may be displayed.

In the above embodiment, when a user needs to switch an application into a floating window on a content window of an electronic device, only operations such as sliding and the like are needed to be performed on a thumbnail of the application, and operations such as exiting the content window and the like are not needed to be performed, so that interaction efficiency related to the floating window is greatly improved.

In one scenario, as shown in fig. 13, the electronic device currently runs the first application APP1 in the form of a floating window, and if the user wants to return the floating window to the background, the user may click the exit control 13 on the floating window or click the home key of the electronic device, and a floating ball 14 is displayed on the display interface of the electronic device. In addition, other methods of retracting the levitation window 72 to the levitation ball 14 are provided by embodiments of the present application.

As shown in fig. 14, the electronic device currently runs the first application APP1 in the form of a floating window 72, and the top of the floating window 72 has a second control area 720, and the user can perform a sliding operation at a preset position in the second control area 720. In one embodiment, the preset position may be a middle position of the second control area 720, the effect displayed to the user may be a second bar 7202, and the user may click on the second bar 7202 to perform the sliding operation. In one embodiment, the sliding operation may be an operation of sliding left, sliding right, sliding up, or sliding down. Illustratively, when the user clicks on the second bar 7202 to slide to the right, the electronic device may receive and interpret the sliding operation, determine a sliding distance and/or a sliding speed of the user's finger on the screen, and determine that the hover window 72 needs to be moved back to the hover sphere 14 based on the sliding distance and/or sliding speed. For example, assuming that the sliding distance is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, such as 1 centimeter (cm), the electronic device may determine that the hover window 72 needs to be retracted to the hover sphere 14, thereby displaying an interface of the hover sphere 14. It will be appreciated that the electronic device may determine the levitation position of the levitation ball 14 according to the sliding direction of the user's finger; for example, when the above sliding operation is to slide leftward, the electronic apparatus floats the suspension ball 14 to the left side of the screen; when the sliding operation is to slide rightward, the electronic device floats the suspension ball 14 to the right side of the screen; when the sliding operation is an upward sliding operation, the electronic device floats the suspending ball 14 to the top of the screen; when the above sliding operation is a downward sliding, the electronic apparatus floats the suspension ball 77 to the bottom of the screen.

Alternatively, in fig. 14, the exit control 13 may or may not be present. When the exit control 13 is present, the hover window 72 may be exited by clicking on the exit control 13 or sliding at the second bar 7202 to exit the hover window 72. When the exit control 13 is not present, it can slide at the second bar 7202 to exit the floating window 72.

In one embodiment, the user may also click on the second bar 7202 to perform a cast-out operation, such as a left cast-out, a right cast-out, an up cast-out, or a down cast-out. The electronic device may determine a payout curve of the user's finger based on the payout operation and determine whether to retract the hover window 72 to the hover ball 14 based on the payout curve. Alternatively, the electronic device may determine the position of the hover ball 14 hovering over the screen based on the direction of the pop-up curve; for example, when the direction of the cast curve is cast to the left, the electronic device floats the suspension ball 14 to the left of the screen; when the direction of the throwing curve is throwing to the right, the electronic equipment floats the suspension ball 14 to the right side of the screen; when the direction of the throwing curve is upward throwing, the electronic equipment floats the suspension ball 14 to the top of the screen; when the direction of the throwing curve is throwing downwards, the electronic device floats the suspension ball 14 to the bottom of the screen.

In one embodiment, the user may also drag the second bar 7202 to move the floating window 72 back and forth, as shown in fig. 15, the floating window 72 may be moved to the left, right, or bottom edge of the screen, and the floating window 72 may only display a portion of the window when at the edge. In the embodiment of the present application, when the floating window 72 is moved to the edge of the screen and the proportion of the displayed partial window to the entire floating window 72 is less than or equal to the preset proportion (for example, 50%), the electronic device may retract the floating window 72 to the floating ball 14. Alternatively, in another embodiment, when the user drags the second bar 7202 to move back and forth, if the electronic device detects that the touch point of the user's finger has reached the left, right or bottom edge of the screen, the hover window 72 is moved back to the hover sphere 14. During the retraction of the floating window 72 into the floating ball 14, the electronic device may also exhibit the effect that the floating window 72 gradually shrinks and disappears, and the floating ball 14 appears after the floating window 72 disappears.

If the user still needs to redisplay the floating window 72, the user may click on the floating ball 14, so that the floating window 72 may be redisplayed.

In the above embodiment, when the user performs the sliding operation in the second control area, the floating window may be hidden in the floating ball, so as to improve the diversity of the operation of exiting the floating window.

the latest task management system displays a latest task bar window, receives an upward sliding operation of the thumbnail of the first application on the latest task bar window by a user, and the latest task bar interface translates downward along the sliding direction. When the user moves the thumbnail to a preset area, the desktop system displays a part of desktop interface, and the window management system starts the first application in a floating window mode. Meanwhile, the dynamic effect system generates a floating window rebound animation, and informs a latest task management system to enable a latest task bar interface to eliminate the approach, and generates a latest task bar interface approach animation.

In conjunction with the above description of the embodiments, in one embodiment, fig. 23 shows an example of a signaling interaction diagram for moving a floating window back to a floating sphere, which specifically includes:

And the dynamic effect system draws a floating window and a hand-following translation animation according to the sliding operation, and when a user leaves hands in a preset area, the window management system minimizes the first application. Meanwhile, the dynamic effect system generates animation that the floating window is reduced and disappears along with the hand leaving direction, and the floating ball is animated along with the hand leaving direction. After the animation is played, the suspension ball management system starts the suspension ball, and the first application is returned to the background.

In the above embodiment, by adding the control area for the user to operate on the floating window, when the user needs to withdraw the floating window to the floating ball, the electronic device can click the withdraw control or the home key of the electronic device, and can perform other operations such as sliding at the preset position of the control area, thereby improving the diversity of operations of withdrawing the floating window.
