In some embodiments, computing device 100 is configured to perform a window display method 200 and method 400 according to the present invention.

FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a window display method 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The window display method 200 includes steps S210 to S250. The method 200 is adapted to be executed in an operating system run by the computing device 100 (the computing device shown in FIG. 1 ), and further, the method 200 is adapted to be executed in a display server of the operating system.

It should be noted that the method 200 can be integrated in the display server of the operating system, and the integration method can be based on the actual application scenario, which is not limited in the present invention. For example, the method 200 can be integrated in the display server of the operating system in the form of a plug-in , in order to solve the problem of low efficiency in manually minimizing the display window in the prior art.

First of all, it should be noted that whenever the user opens a window, the display server records the state of the opened window in the attribute table in response to the user's operation of opening the window, wherein the state of the opened window may include maximized state, minimized state state, selected state, etc. The attribute table is pre-created and stored, and the present invention does not limit the storage method. For example, the attribute table is stored locally or in a storage device communicatively connected to the computing device 100 (the computing device is the computing device to which the display server belongs).

The storage device may be a database, and further, the database may be a relational database, such as MYSQL, SqlServer, ACCESS, etc. The database of the storage device may be a local database residing in the computing device 100 to which the display server belongs, or a distributed database. Databases such as Hbase are located in multiple geographic locations; the storage device may also be a cache, such as a redis cache, etc. In short, the storage device is used to store the attribute table. The present invention does not limit the specific deployment and configuration of the storage device.

After the display server records the state information of the opened windows in the attribute table, step S210 is performed to search for all opened windows. In one embodiment, all open windows are found by traversing the property table, specifically:

The attribute table is polled according to the preset time interval, that is, the content of the attribute table is determined by regular polling, if not, it means that there are currently opened windows, then all the opened windows are searched by traversing the attribute table. If the content of the attribute table is empty, it means that there is no open window. In this case, in order to save the consumption of system resources, the polling operation is stopped until the display server responds to the user's operation of opening the window and starts the polling task again. The preset time interval may be set according to an actual application scenario, which is not limited in the present invention, for example, the preset time interval may be 1 minute.

As can be seen from the above content, in the present invention, all opened windows will not be continuously searched, but when it is detected that the window is not currently opened, the search task will be stopped, and the thread or process where the search task is located will be released at this time, And release memory resources occupied by threads or processes, thereby reducing the use of system resources, saving system resources, and improving the performance of computing devices.

After all the opened windows are found, step S220 is executed to detect whether there is a target window whose idle duration exceeds the preset duration in all the opened windows, wherein the idle duration is the duration of the unselected window, and the operation of selecting the window, It can be an operation for the user to select any window with the mouse and display it on the display interface. It should be noted here that when a window is selected, the application program corresponding to the window will record the time when the window is selected.

In one embodiment, step S220 specifically includes: sending a request for obtaining the last selected time of the target window to the application corresponding to the current window, and receiving the history of the last selection of the target window sent by the application corresponding to the target window time, the difference between the current time and the historical time is processed to obtain the idle duration of any opened window, and it is detected whether the idle duration of any opened window exceeds the preset duration. The target window whose idle duration exceeds the preset duration, if not, there is no target window whose idle duration exceeds the preset duration among all opened windows.

The preset duration can be set according to actual application scenarios, which is not limited in the present invention, for example, the preset duration is 15 minutes by default. It is worth noting here that the preset duration can also be configured by the user. Specifically, the preset duration can be configured by the user in the configuration interface provided by the display server to the user, and the user can configure it according to the actual situation of his work and life. The preset duration is not limited in the present invention. For example, the preset duration configured by the user may be 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, or the like.

If there is a target window with an idle duration exceeding the preset duration, it means that the window has not been selected for a long time, then step S230 is executed to minimize the display of the target window. After the target window is minimized and displayed, step S240 is continued to acquire and store the window information of the target window.

The window information includes the name, position, size, type, and display priority of the window. The type of the window can be dock type, normal type, desktop type, etc. The display priority of the window can be determined according to the type of the window. Taking the type of the window as the dock type, normal type, and desktop type as an example, the order of the display priority of the window from high to low is: dock type window , normal type window, desktop type window.

In one embodiment, step S240 specifically includes: acquiring window information of the target window (ie, all minimized windows), and storing the window information of the target window into a configuration file. That is to say, the configuration file includes a plurality of data items, and each data item includes the window name, position, size, type, and display priority.

If there is no target window whose idle duration exceeds the preset duration, the operation of minimizing the window display is not required. However, it can be seen from the above content that in addition to the target window minimized and displayed by the method 200, there are also windows manually minimized and displayed by the user. Therefore, in order to restore all minimized windows, step S250 can be continued.

After the display window is minimized, if the user wants to restore all the minimized and displayed windows, the user can trigger the restore interface. Further, the user can trigger the restore interface in the user configuration interface provided by the display server. When the display server detects that the user When the operation of restoring the interface is triggered, in response to the operation, step S250 is executed to restore and display all minimized and displayed windows based on the window information, wherein all minimized and displayed windows include target windows and windows that are manually minimized and displayed by the user.

Step S250 specifically includes: when it is detected that the user can trigger an operation to restore the interface, acquiring window information of all minimized and displayed windows from the configuration file. According to the obtained window information, the open state of the window before the minimized display can be determined. The open state of the window can be maximized, minimized, selected, etc., and all minimized and displayed windows are restored to the minimized state. Displays the previous window open state to restore display of minimized target windows and displayed windows manually minimized by the user. If the window was in the maximized open state before the minimized display, the minimized and displayed window can be restored to the maximized open state.

It is worth noting that the minimized display window restored at this time can be the target window that is minimized and displayed through the above steps S210 to S240, or it can be the window that is manually minimized and displayed by the user, as long as the minimized display window is satisfied. Window information can be restored to the configuration file.

It should be noted that, in the process of minimizing the window display, steps S210 to S240 need to be performed, and if the minimized window needs to be restored, then continue to perform step S250. Therefore, by performing steps S210 to S250, it is possible to automatically minimize and display an opened window that has not been selected for a long time, and restore the minimized and displayed window to the previous open state.

It can be seen from the above content that the window display method provided by the present invention can realize the automatic minimization display operation for the opened windows that have not been selected for a long time, without manual operation, and improves the efficiency of the window minimization display. And no manual operation is required, which improves the convenience of use for the user, thereby improving the user experience.

In addition, the present invention can also respond to the operation of the user triggering the restoration interface, and automatically restore all the minimized and displayed windows to the previous open state, so that there is no need to manually restore the minimized and displayed windows, which further improves the convenience of use and the user experience. .

In addition, in the present invention, all windows that have been opened will not be searched continuously, but when it is detected that the window is not currently open, the search task will be stopped. At this time, the thread or process where the search task is located will be released, and the thread will be released. Or the memory resources occupied by the process, so that while improving the window display efficiency, the use of system resources can be reduced, system resources can be saved, and the performance of the computing device can be improved.

In step S401, the timing detection module 310 traverses the attribute table to find all opened windows.

In step S402, the timing detection module 310 sends to the application corresponding to the current window a request for obtaining the historical time when the current window was selected last time.

In step S403, the timing detection module 310 receives the last selected historical time of the current window sent by the application program corresponding to the current window.

In step S404, the difference processing between the current time and the historical time is performed by the timing detection module 310 to obtain the idle duration of the current window.

In step S405, the timing detection module 310 detects whether there is a target window with an idle duration exceeding the preset duration in all the opened windows. If there is, step S406 is performed, and if not, step S409 is performed.

In step S406, the timing detection module 310 sends an instruction to minimize the target window to the window minimization module 320.

In step S407, the target window is minimized by the window minimizing module 320.

After the target window is minimized, in step S408, the window information of the target window to be minimized is recorded by the window minimizing module 320 and stored in the configuration file.

In step S409, an instruction to restore the target window is sent to the window restoration module 330 through the window minimization module 320.

In step S410, the information of all minimized windows is obtained from the configuration file through the window restoration module 330.

In step S411, through the window restoration module 330, the open state of the window before the minimization is determined according to the obtained information of the minimized window.

In step S412, the window restoration module 330 restores all the minimized windows to the open state of the windows before the minimization, so as to restore the display target window and the window that the user manually minimized and displayed.

Thus, through steps S401 to S412, the opened windows that have not been selected for a long time are automatically minimized, and all minimized windows are restored to the previous open state.
