Description

Desktop display method and device and computing equipment

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a desktop display method, a desktop display device and computing equipment.

Background

The Desktop Environment (Desktop Environment) refers to a display Environment including elements such as a Desktop and a taskbar, which a user sees after logging in. Background pictures and desktop icons are generally displayed on the desktop, wherein the background pictures are displayed in a full screen and the desktop icons are drawn in a grid of available areas of the screen for display. The desktop window is generally divided into two layers, a background picture displayed in full screen is drawn on the lower layer, and the lower layer does not receive and process input events such as a keyboard, a mouse and the like of a user; drawing a desktop icon on the upper layer and receiving an input event of a user. The whole desktop window is always arranged at the lower layer of other common application windows.

Based on the existing operating system, a user can add programs such as desktop assistants or desktop pets on the desktop, which are separate application programs and placed on top of other windows in the form of top-level windows. The avatars of desktop assistants, including, for example, paper clips, puppies, dolphins, and the like, mainly pop up dialog boxes during user use to provide user suggestions and assistance for use. The desktop pet is similar to the desktop assistant, but the desktop pet is mainly entertained and has richer interaction effect.

In addition, the existing desktop environment can display dynamic wallpaper, namely, a static background picture of the original desktop is replaced by a short video for circular playing, so that the appearance and the use experience of the desktop are enhanced. Dynamic wallpaper is also a separate application, which is essentially a video player whose playing window is displayed full screen and placed at the bottom of all windows.

According to the existing desktop display mode, the desktop assistant and the desktop pet are independent application processes, and after the desktop assistant and the desktop pet are started, a corresponding window is created and placed on the topmost layer. And then drawing corresponding window content according to the image selected by the user, and setting the window into an irregular window according to the outline of the window content, so that only the outline of the window content can receive input events such as a keyboard, a mouse and the like of the user, and the outline has a transparent effect and cannot receive the input events. When the mouse of the user clicks in the outline, the operation behavior of the user is judged by reading the mouse input event, corresponding action is executed, and corresponding content is drawn.

Because the windows of the desktop assistant and the desktop pet are top-layer windows on the desktop, the windows are always placed on other windows in the using process, and the shielding of other application windows is caused. Moreover, during the use of the full-screen window, for example, when a user watches a movie and plays a game in full screen, the content in the top-layer window affects the use experience of the user because the top-layer window has the capability of receiving an input event. For example, when a user moves a mouse to a window of a desktop assistant or a desktop pet, the window is activated, and a problem that a full-screen window flashes interactively with the window of the desktop assistant or the desktop pet occurs, so that the use experience of the user is affected.

Dynamic wallpaper is also an independent application process, and existing dynamic wallpaper is provided by a third-party application. Because the window of the dynamic wallpaper is arranged at the lowest layer of the desktop, input events such as a mouse, a keyboard and the like cannot be received, and therefore interactivity is lacked.

Therefore, a desktop display method is needed to solve the problems in the above technical solutions.

FIG. 2 shows a flow diagram of a desktop display method 200 according to one embodiment of the invention. The desktop display method 200 may be performed in a desktop display 500 of a computing device (e.g., the computing device 100 described above). As shown in FIG. 2, the method 200 includes steps S210-S230.

It should be noted that the computing device 100 includes a screen, and the screen is connected to an operating system of the computing device. A desktop window may be displayed on the screen of the computing device 100, and a background picture and corresponding desktop icons of one or more desktop files may be displayed based on the desktop window. Here, a desktop file is a file under a desktop directory, which may contain one or more desktop files, each of which may contain a corresponding desktop icon. The desktop files are rendered in the desktop window in the form of corresponding desktop icons for presentation to the user through the desktop window.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a desktop window 300 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the desktop window 300 includes a background layer 310, an animation interaction layer 320 disposed over the background layer, and a desktop icon layer 330 disposed over the animation interaction layer. The background layer 310 is configured to display a background picture, the animation interaction layer 320 is configured to display content of a dynamic effect (i.e., animation content), and the desktop icon layer 330 is configured to display one or more desktop icons corresponding to one or more desktop files.

As shown in fig. 2, in step S210, a background picture configured by a user in advance is obtained, and the background picture is drawn on the background layer 310. Here, the background picture is spread over the window of the background layer to be displayed in the entire screen area.

In one embodiment, before step S210 is performed, a background layer 310, an animation interaction layer 320, and a desktop icon layer 330 in the desktop window 300 are first created.

In particular, the background layer is created based on a screen resolution size of the computing device. That is, the window size of the background layer is set to the screen resolution size so that the background layer fills the entire screen area, and then step S210 may be performed to obtain a pre-configured background picture, and draw the background picture on the background layer. Subsequently, an animated interaction layer is created above the background layer, where the animated interaction layer is also created based on the screen resolution size, such that the animated interaction layer fills the entire screen area. Further, a desktop icon layer is created above the animation interaction layer. It should be noted that the desktop icon layer does not include a taskbar region. That is, the desktop icon layer may be created according to the screen resolution minus the size of the taskbar region.

It should be noted that the dynamic effect interaction layer and the desktop icon layer are both transparent backgrounds, and are not drawn with window backgrounds. Therefore, the background picture arranged in the background layer at the bottommost layer can be presented to a user through the transparent areas of the dynamic interaction layer and the desktop icon layer.

According to one embodiment, after the desktop icon layer is created on top of the animation interaction layer, desktop icons corresponding to one or more desktop files currently in the computing device are drawn on the desktop icon layer.

Specifically, the grid size is first determined according to the desktop icon size, so that one desktop icon can be displayed in each grid. And then, dividing the desktop icon layer according to the size of the desktop icon layer and the size of the grids to form a plurality of grids which are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns. Here, the size of the desktop icon layer is obtained by subtracting the size of the taskbar area from the size of the resolution of the screen, and the number of grids can be determined according to the size of the desktop icon layer and the size of the grids, that is, the number of rows and columns of the grids can be determined, so that the grids with corresponding number arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns can be formed by dividing the desktop icon layer.

Next, one or more desktop files may be obtained from the desktop directory, and a desktop icon corresponding to the one or more desktop files may be obtained. It should be noted that the desktop icon includes an icon corresponding to the desktop file and a file name, and the file name is usually disposed below the icon.

Furthermore, based on the sorting mode of the desktop icons set by the user, one or more desktop icons (including icons and file names) are respectively drawn into one or more grids of the desktop icon layer, and finally one or more desktop icons can be displayed on the desktop icon layer, so that the desktop icons are presented to the user.

In one implementation, the background layer is always placed below other application windows by setting the window type of the background layer to Desktop. And the window type of the dynamic effect interaction layer is set to Desktop, so that the window of the dynamic effect interaction layer is arranged on the upper layer of the window of the background layer and is arranged on the lower layer of other application windows. It should be understood that after the action-effect interaction layer is initially created, the action-effect interaction layer is in a transparent state, no content is drawn, and a background picture of a background layer located below the action-effect interaction layer is presented. In addition, the type of the window of the Desktop icon layer is Desktop, so that the window of the Desktop icon layer is arranged on the upper layer of the window of the dynamic effect interaction layer and is arranged on the lower layer of other application windows. After the desktop icon layer is initially created, a desktop window in an initial state is formed based on the background layer, the dynamic effect interaction layer and the desktop icon layer, at this time, dynamic effect content is not drawn on the dynamic effect interaction layer, and the desktop window only displays static content (desktop icons and background pictures).

Subsequently, in step S220, an input event of the user on the desktop icon layer is received, the input event is filtered so as to filter out the input event of the user on the desktop file, and the remaining input events obtained after filtering are sent to the dynamic effect interaction layer so as to draw corresponding dynamic effect content on the dynamic effect interaction layer. Here, it should be noted that the input events remaining after filtering out the input events to the desktop file include input events to non-desktop files, and also include some invalid input events.

In step S230, according to an input event to a non-desktop file in the remaining input events, drawing corresponding animation content and performing a corresponding interactive operation action in an animation interaction layer. Here, the corresponding animation content and the corresponding interaction action are drawn at the animation interaction layer according to the type and the position information of the input event to the non-desktop file.

In one implementation, the type of input event includes a mouse input event, a keyboard input event, and the like, where the mouse input event includes, for example, a single click event, a double click event, a drag event, a frame selection event, a slide event, and the like.

It should be noted that the input event in the desktop icon layer includes an input event implemented by a user operating any area of the desktop icon layer (including the desktop icon area and the non-desktop icon area). The input event to the desktop file is an input event to the corresponding desktop file, which is realized by the user through operating the desktop icon displayed on the desktop icon layer. Accordingly, the remaining input events after the input event to the desktop file are filtered out, including the input event implemented by the user operating in the non-desktop icon area of the desktop icon layer, wherein some invalid input events may exist. For example, the events such as single-click or double-click performed by the user through the mouse on the desktop helper program, the desktop pet program, the dynamic wallpaper program, and the blank area, and the sliding events of the mouse on any area of the desktop icon layer are all the remaining input events obtained after filtering in the desktop icon layer.

The input event of the non-desktop file includes an input event of the non-desktop file that is implemented by a user through an operation in a non-desktop file region of the desktop icon layer, where the non-desktop file may be implemented as a desktop helper program, a desktop pet program, a dynamic wallpaper program, etc., but the present invention is not limited to a specific type of the non-desktop file.

It should be noted that the input operation of the desktop file is filtered through the desktop icon layer, on one hand, the input operation of the desktop file is preferentially ensured to be smoothly executed, and the desktop file cannot be operated because the desktop icon is shielded by the windows of non-desktop files such as a desktop assistant program, a desktop pet program and the like. On the other hand, the residual input events filtered by the desktop icon layer are transmitted to the dynamic effect interaction layer, corresponding dynamic effect content and interaction actions are drawn on the dynamic effect interaction layer according to the input events of the non-desktop files, so that animation effects of the non-desktop files such as helper programs, desktop pet programs and dynamic wallpaper programs can be drawn and presented in a full-screen-size dynamic effect interaction layer window area without being limited to be displayed in a small window, the dynamic effect interaction layer responds to mouse and keyboard operation events of the user on the non-desktop files, the animation effects can be displayed by clicking the dynamic wallpaper by the user, the problem that the dynamic wallpaper cannot receive the input events is solved, and the interaction interestingness is enhanced.

According to one embodiment, after one or more desktop icons are drawn on the desktop icon layer, the grid occupied by each desktop icon can be traversed on the desktop icon layer so as to obtain the occupied area of each desktop icon in the grid, and the occupied area of each desktop icon in the grid is used as the occupied area. Here, position information such as coordinates and size of the occupied area on the screen is determined, and then the position information such as the coordinates and size of the occupied area is sent to the dynamic effect interaction layer, so that dynamic effect content is drawn on the dynamic effect interaction layer based on the coordinates and size of the occupied area.

FIG. 4 illustrates a relationship diagram of a desktop icon layer 330 and an animation interaction layer 320 according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 4, based on the grid occupied by each desktop icon in the desktop icon layer 330, the occupied area (black color block) of each desktop icon in the grid can be divided in the animation interaction layer 320 so as to draw animation contents outside the occupied area.

Specifically, when the dynamic effect interaction layer draws the dynamic effect content, whether the content drawing area of the dynamic effect interaction layer is shielded by the desktop icon of the desktop icon layer or not can be judged according to the coordinates and the size of the occupied area, if the content drawing area is shielded by the desktop icon of the desktop icon layer, the dynamic effect content is not drawn in the area, and if the content drawing area is not shielded by the desktop icon of the desktop icon layer, the dynamic effect content can be drawn in the area. That is, the area on the dynamic effect interaction layer that is not covered by the desktop icon can be determined according to the coordinates and the size of the occupied area, and the dynamic effect content is drawn in the area that is not covered by the desktop icon. Therefore, the method does not draw the dynamic effect content in the whole area of the dynamic effect interaction layer, but draws the dynamic effect content in the area which can be seen by the user, thereby reducing unnecessary icon rendering and being beneficial to reducing the occupation of system resources.

In addition, the edge area of the desktop icon can be determined according to the occupied area, and the dynamic effect content can be drawn on the dynamic effect interaction layer based on the edge area of the desktop icon. For example, when an event that a user operates on a desktop icon area and selects a desktop file is received, the corresponding desktop icon is positioned according to the grid of the selected desktop file, and animation effects such as streamer and the like are drawn in the edge area of the desktop icon, so that the selected desktop file is highlighted in a more cool manner.

In one embodiment, the animation display effect of the animation interaction layer may be expanded based on a plug-in dynamic library. Specifically, plug-in loading is realized by loading a plug-in dynamic library, a window of the dynamic effect interaction layer is obtained by calling an expansion interface provided by the plug-in, and various dynamic effect contents and interactive operation modes are drawn on the dynamic effect interaction layer, so that expansion of the dynamic effect contents of the dynamic effect interaction layer is realized. Therefore, free customization of the dynamic effect content and the interactive mode of the dynamic effect interaction layer is realized based on the expansion interface provided by the plug-in, so that the diversity and the attractiveness of the desktop window effect are improved.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the content of the braking effect drawn at the dynamic effect interaction layer can be realized in the following various forms:

full screen dynamic effect: and drawing the snowflake falling effect, the starry sky shining effect, the lake surface effect and the like in a window of the dynamic effect interaction layer, and drawing the animation effects of snowflake fragmentation, starry disappearance or water wave appearance and the like when an event that the snowflake, the starry or the lake surface in the blank area of the desktop is clicked by a mouse is received.

Local special effects: when an event that a user operates on a single machine in a desktop icon area and selects a desktop file is received, the corresponding desktop icon is positioned according to the grid of the selected desktop file, and animation effects such as streamer and the like are drawn in the edge area of the desktop icon, so that the selected desktop file is highlighted in a more cool mode.

The special effect of the pet is as follows: and drawing animation effects of small fish wandering in an area which is not shielded by the desktop icon on the animation interaction layer, wherein the small fish rapidly swims when an event that the small fish is clicked by the mouse is received, and the small fish slowly approaches the mouse pointer and circles around the pointer when the mouse is suspended.

Mouse special effects: when a mouse sliding event is received, animation effects such as water marks, scratches or star trailing are drawn on the animation interaction layer. When a mouse click event is received, animation effects such as water waves, glass cracks and the like are drawn on the animation effect interaction layer.
