Description

Display method and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of electronic devices, and in particular, to a display method and an electronic device.

Background

The electronic device may run multiple applications simultaneously to provide multiple functions to the user. In some implementations, the electronic device can display multiple windows, each corresponding to an application, thereby facilitating user viewing of the switch.

In current multi-window display mechanisms, there is no rule in the distribution of windows across the display screen. Under the condition of more windows, the display screen displays more chaotic contents, which is more convenient for users to use.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the application provides a display method and electronic equipment, which can display an application window based on a display grid. Therefore, the display effect of the single application window or a plurality of application windows is clearer and more indirect, and the user can acquire the wanted information quickly.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the embodiment of the application adopts the following technical scheme:

in a first aspect, a display method is provided, which is applied to an electronic device provided with a display for providing a display function, a display area of the display being divided into a plurality of display meshes. The method comprises the following steps: in response to a first operation entered by a user, the electronic device displays a first window interface of a first application on a display, the first application running in the electronic device. In response to a second operation entered by the user, the electronic device displays a second window interface of a second application on the display, the second application running on the electronic device. The second window interface corresponding display area and the first window interface corresponding display area are not overlapped with each other. The display areas of the first window interface and the second window interface comprise integral multiple display grids.

Thus, by dividing the area into a plurality of display grids, the display cell references of the display window are rearranged. In the case of displaying one or more windows, the grid can be displayed as the smallest display unit arrangement window, so that the display effect is simpler and more direct. Thereby facilitating the user to more efficiently obtain the desired information from the window.

Optionally, the first window interface and the second window interface include a first edge that overlaps with each other, and the method further includes: and receiving a third operation input by the user, wherein the third operation is an operation on the first side and is used for instructing the electronic equipment to adjust the sizes of the first window interface and the second window interface. And responding to the third operation, and expanding the display area of the first window interface by integer multiple of display grids according to the direction indicated by the third operation, and contracting the display area of the second window interface by integer multiple of display grids. Or the display area of the first window interface is reduced by an integer multiple of the display grids, and the display area of the second window interface is enlarged by an integer multiple of the display grids.

In this example, the first window and the second window displayed by the electronic device may be proximate to each other, sharing a first edge. Thus, when the user needs to adjust the two application windows, the user can input the operation to the first side. For example, the third operation may include an operation of pressing the first side and sliding toward an intermediate position of the application window to be reduced. Correspondingly, the electronic device can adjust the sizes of the first window and the second window by taking the display grid as granularity. Therefore, the sizes of the first window and the second window after the size adjustment are still integer times of the display grid, and a concise and orderly display state is maintained.

Optionally, the first operation includes: a one-handed pinch operation or a two-finger pinch operation of an interface of the first application displayed full screen by a user.

Optionally, any two display grids of the plurality of display grids are the same size.

Optionally, the display grid is a rectangular grid. The size setting of the display grid may be preset in the electronic device. Alternatively, the electronic device may also provide an interface for manual settings to the user. The boundaries of the display grid may be displayed on a display screen for viewing by a user during alignment of one or more windows to the grid. Alternatively, the boundaries of the display grid may be non-displayed.

Optionally, after receiving the first operation input by the user, displaying the first window interface includes: and displaying a third window interface corresponding to the first application according to a first operation of a user, and adjusting the third window interface to display the first window interface under the condition that the third window interface does not comprise an integral multiple of display grids. In this way, the display area of the first window may be aligned to the display grid. From another perspective, the alignment process may also be described as the display effect of the acquired first window after the four edges of the original third window are adsorbed to the nearest display grid.

Optionally, the adjusting the third window interface to display for the first window includes: searching a second vertex corresponding to a first vertex, wherein the first vertex is any vertex of the third window interface, and the second vertex is a vertex of a display grid closest to the first vertex. Searching a fourth vertex corresponding to a third vertex, wherein the third vertex is a vertex which is arranged on the third window interface and is diagonally to the first vertex, and the fourth vertex is a vertex of a display grid closest to the third vertex. And determining the display area of the first window interface according to the second vertex and the fourth vertex.

Optionally, the second vertex and the fourth vertex respectively correspond to a vertex arranged in a diagonal on the first window interface.

Optionally, the adjusting the third window interface to display for the first window includes: and searching a third side corresponding to a second side, wherein the second side is any side of the third window interface, and the third side is the side of the display grid closest to the second side. Searching a fifth side corresponding to a fourth side, wherein the fourth side is one side adjacent to the second side on the third window interface, and the fifth side is the side of the display grid closest to the fourth side. And determining the display area of the first window interface according to the third side and the fifth side. The third side and the fifth side respectively correspond to two adjacent sides of the first window interface.

Thus, vertex-based mesh alignment is provided, as well as edge-based mesh alignment. In a specific implementation, the method can be flexibly selected.

Optionally, the third window interface includes the same display element as the first window interface. It will be appreciated that there may be some difference in the size of the first window interface and the size of the third window interface through grid alignment. Then, after grid alignment, all elements in the third window interface may still be displayed in the first window interface. In some implementations, to make the display layout more reasonable, the relative positional relationship between the elements in the first window interface may be adjusted according to the size of the first window interface.

Optionally, the first window interface includes a first function control, where the first function control is used to provide functions of moving the first window interface, adjusting a size of the first window interface, and closing the first window interface. Therefore, the aligned first window interface is more convenient for a user to operate.

Optionally, in a case where the electronic device displays the first window interface, the method further includes: the electronic device displays, on a display, other application windows including icons of other applications installed in the electronic device that are different from the first application. The display area of the other application window comprises an integer multiple of display grids, and the display area of the other application window is not overlapped with the display area of the first window interface. It is understood that the other application window may be a collection window of icons.

Optionally, when the size of the first window interface is smaller than a preset size, displaying the other application windows.

Thus, when the first window interface is smaller, the electronic device can display other application windows in a blank place so as to facilitate the user to trigger the operation on other applications. For example, icons of the second application in the other application windows are operated so that the electronic device can display the second application based on the display grid through the window mode.

Optionally, at least one application program group is configured in the electronic device, and the application program group includes at least one application program. In the case where the first application is included in the first application group, the electronic device displays the first application group in the other application window on top. By setting the first application group, the electronic device can provide other application options related to the first application or in the same application scene for the user preferentially. Thereby facilitating the user to quickly open the application that needs to be used.

Optionally, in a case where the electronic device displays the first window interface, the method further includes: the electronic device displays an application sidebar on a display, the application sidebar including icons of other applications installed in the electronic device that are different from the first application. The display area of the application sidebar includes an integer multiple of the display grid, the display area of the application sidebar and the display area of the first window interface are not coincident with each other, the application sidebar being at least so as to adhere to an edge of the display area of the display.

Optionally, when the size of the first window interface is greater than a preset size, displaying the application sidebar.

Therefore, when the first window interface is larger, the use efficiency of the user for other application programs is improved under the condition that a larger display area is not required to be occupied by the side bar. For example, the second application may be included in the application sidebar such that when a user inputs a second operation on an icon of the second application, the electronic device may display the second application via a window mode based on the display grid.

Optionally, at least one application program group is configured in the electronic device, and the application program group includes at least one application program. In the event that the first application is included in a first application group, the electronic device displays the first application group on top of the application sidebar.

Optionally, the first application program group further includes a third application, and the method further includes: and receiving a fourth operation of the user on the first application program group, and correspondingly displaying a display window corresponding to the first application and a display window corresponding to the third application in the display area of the display screen according to the first layout. The first layout is used for marking the position and the size of a display window corresponding to each application in the first application program group, and the display areas of all the display windows indicated by the first layout comprise an integer multiple of display grids. The first layout is preconfigured in the electronic device.

For example, the fourth operation may be input for an identification of the first application group. Thus, the electronic device can provide a scheme for quickly opening a plurality of application programs in a certain scene for the user. For example, in some specific scenes, such as a net lesson scene, a navigation scene, etc., the user can trigger the display of a plurality of application programs by a simple operation. The windows of the application programs are aligned according to the display grids and displayed according to the preset first layout, so that better use experience can be obtained.

Detailed Description

Under the condition that a plurality of Application programs (APP) are operated in the electronic equipment, interfaces of at least two Application programs can be displayed simultaneously in different areas on a display screen through a split-screen display function so as to be convenient for a user to use.

Exemplary, and electronic devices are tablet computers (simply referred to as tablets). Referring to fig. 1, an application program for weather application, map navigation, etc. may be installed in the tablet. Icons for these applications may be displayed on a main interface of the tablet (e.g., interface 101) for user operation.

As a possible implementation, refer to fig. 2. The user may click on the icon 102 of the weather application on the interface 101. In response to the click operation, the electronic device may run a weather application, displaying an interface 103 corresponding to the weather application. Generally, after a user inputs an indication to open an application, the electronic device may display an interface of the application, such as interface 103, in full screen.

The electronic device may also provide the user with functionality to display the application interface through a window.

For example, after displaying the interface 103 as shown in fig. 2, the electronic device may display the display content of the weather application in a window based on a specific operation input by the user.

As a possible implementation, refer to fig. 3. The user may input a swipe operation indicating the display content of the current application displayed through the window by the tablet. Wherein the scribing operation may include: in the case of a flat-screen display interface 103, clicking on the lower edge of the interface 103 keeps pressing and sliding upwards until a certain position in the interface 103 stops pressing the display screen. In response to the swipe operation, the tablet may display all or a portion of the elements in the interface 103 in a window. For example, upon receiving a swipe operation, the tablet may display the window interface 104 as shown in fig. 3. The window interface 104 may include therein all of the content in the full screen displayed interface 103, i.e., the display information of the weather application. Of course, in other implementations, because the display area in window interface 104 is less than a full-screen display state, elements included in window interface 104 may also be less than elements in a full-screen display state.

In the above example, taking an example that the user opens the weather application in the tablet computer through operation, a brief description is given of the display situation of the weather application. It will be appreciated that when using an electronic device, a user often needs to open multiple applications simultaneously. As one example, a user may input an operation to display a desktop to an electronic device, returning to a display main interface from a display interface as shown in fig. 3 or fig. 2. In this way, the user may instruct the electronic device to run other applications to use the associated functions.

Illustratively, as depicted in FIG. 4, a user may click on an icon 105 of a map navigation application on a main interface. In response to the click operation, the tablet computer may display the display information of the map navigation application, such as interface 106, in full screen. Similar to the description of fig. 3 above, the user may also instruct the electronic device to display the display information of the map navigation through the window through the above-described swipe operation or other similar operation. As an example, as shown in fig. 5, after receiving an operation of a user to instruct window display, the tablet computer may display information of the map navigation application in the window interface 107.

In this example, the electronic device may be running multiple applications, such as a weather application and a map navigation application, simultaneously. In this way, the electronic device may display the window interface 104 corresponding to the anigo application while displaying the window interface 107 corresponding to the map navigation application. The display of the two window interfaces on the interface may include at least partial overlap. The topmost window interface may be the last application that the user opened. For example, in the example of fig. 5, the tablet may simultaneously display the window interface 104 corresponding to the weather application and the window interface 107 corresponding to the map navigation application. The map navigation application may be the last application to open, and then the window interface 107 may overlay at least a portion of the window interface 104 for overhead display. When the user needs to view the window interface 104 of the completed weather application, the portion of the display of the window interface 104 that is not covered by the window interface 107 may be clicked on. In response to this operation, the tablet may set up a window interface 104 that displays the weather application.

In connection with the description of fig. 5, since it is necessary to display as much display content of each application as possible on the window interface of each application, there may be a case where a plurality of windows are hidden from each other as shown in fig. 5. This can cause significant inconvenience when a user needs to view interfaces for multiple applications simultaneously. In addition, when a plurality of application programs are all opened and displayed, a display interface is confused, and a user cannot conveniently find needed information.

The display scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can divide the display interface into a plurality of regular display grids when the electronic equipment displays the window. For example, referring to fig. 6, an electronic device is taken as an example of a tablet. The display interface of the tablet may be divided into a plurality of display grids. When multiple application window interfaces are displayed, the boundaries of each application window interface may fall on the sides of a display grid. Therefore, when the display of the plurality of application window interfaces is carried out, the display of each window interface can be carried out by taking the display grid as a basic unit, so that the display of the plurality of application windows is not disordered, the display is more neat, and the user can conveniently find the needed information. In some embodiments, the electronic device may also group applications that have been currently installed, each group corresponding to a preset scenario. For example, the scene may include an office scene, a travel (navigation) scene, a net lesson scene, and the like. The grouping of one scene may include at least two applications commonly used in the scene. In this way, when the user controls the electronic device to display a window of one application program, the electronic device can assist the user to quickly display windows of other applications of the same group on the display screen based on the group, so that the user can quickly open and display each application program in the scene. Wherein, the display layout of the plurality of application programs on the display screen can be preset in the electronic device based on the display grid. Thus, after entering a certain scene, the electronic device can assist the user to quickly open the corresponding application program, and meanwhile, reasonably-arranged window display is provided on the display screen.

In the following examples, the schemes provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The display scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to electronic equipment. The electronic device may have a plurality of applications running therein. At least two of the plurality of applications may support window display.

The specific implementation of the electronic device may be different in different embodiments. By way of example, the electronic device may be a cell phone, tablet, handheld computer, personal computer (personal computer, PC), cellular telephone, personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), wearable device (e.g., smart watch, smart bracelet), smart home device (e.g., television), car set (e.g., car-mounted computer), smart screen, projector, game console, camera, augmented reality (augmented reality, AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) device, etc. The embodiment of the application does not limit the specific implementation of the electronic equipment.

The hardware composition of the electronic device in fig. 7 described above is only one example. In other implementations, the electronic device to which the display scheme provided by the present application is applied may also have more or fewer components than those of fig. 7. The embodiment of the application does not limit the specific composition of the electronic equipment.

In the following examples, an electronic device is taken as a tablet pc as an example, and a scheme provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail.

In the application, when the flat panel displays the window, the alignment display of the application window can be performed based on a preset display grid.

For example, in connection with fig. 8. The display area of the display screen of the flat panel may be uniformly divided into a plurality of display meshes. The size of each display grid is the same. As an implementation, the display grid may be rectangular, such as a rectangle with different lengths on adjacent sides, or a square with the same length on adjacent sides. The length of either side of each display grid may be an integer multiple of the pixel size in the corresponding direction. Thereby achieving a complete display of any display grid.

In the embodiment of the application, the display area of the display screen is divided into a plurality of display grids, so that when the electronic equipment displays the window, the display of the corresponding window can be performed by taking the display grids as units. In the present application, this process may be referred to as an aligned display of the application window.

For example, in some embodiments, when the electronic device performs window display, each vertex of the application window may be adsorbed to a vertex of one display grid closest to the application window based on a preset size and a position of the application window, so that the application window is adjusted to a grid line of the display grid, and alignment of the window to the display grid is achieved.

Referring to fig. 9, an example of displaying a weather application through a window is given. The electronic device may perform window display of the weather application under the operation of the user. In this example, the window of the weather application may simply be referred to as a weather window. As shown in fig. 9, after receiving an operation of a user instruction to perform window display, the electronic device may display a weather window 901 at a position indicated by the user in a preset size. It can be seen that none of the vertices of weather window 901 (e.g., vertex 91-vertex 94) fall on the display grid. Then, the electronic device may find, for each vertex, the intersection of the display mesh closest to the vertex. For example, the intersection point of the display mesh closest to the vertex 91 is P1, the intersection point of the display mesh closest to the vertex 92 is P2, the intersection point of the display mesh closest to the vertex 93 is P3, and the intersection point of the display mesh closest to the vertex 94 is P4. The electronic device may then move each vertex of the weather window to an intersection of the corresponding display grid for display, respectively. For example, corner 91 is moved to P1, corner 92 is moved to P2, corner 93 is moved to P3, and corner 94 is moved to P4. In this way, the electronic device can display the weather window 902 on the interface after alignment according to the display grid. It can be seen that after alignment according to the display grid, the display of weather window 902 can cover an integer number of display grids, thereby achieving a clean display effect.

For example, in other embodiments, when the electronic device performs window display, each edge of the application window may be adsorbed to an edge of one display grid closest to the application window based on a preset size and a position of the application window, so that the application window is adjusted to a grid line of the display grid, and alignment of the window to the display grid is achieved.

Referring to fig. 10, an example of displaying a weather application through a window is given. The electronic device may perform window display of the weather application under the operation of the user. As shown in fig. 10, after receiving an operation of a user instruction to perform window display, the electronic device may display a weather window 1001 at a position indicated by the user in a preset size. It can be seen that none of the edges (e.g., edges 1-4) of weather window 1001 fall on the display grid. Then, the electronic device can find the edge of the display grid closest to the edge for each edge of the weather window 1001, respectively. For example, the side of the display mesh closest to the side 11 is the side 15, the side of the display mesh closest to the side 12 is the side 16, the side of the display mesh closest to the side 13 is the side 17, and the side of the display mesh closest to the side 14 is the side 18. The electronic device may then move each edge of the weather window to a corresponding edge of the display grid for display, respectively. For example, edge 11 is moved to edge 15, edge 12 is moved to edge 16, edge 13 is moved to edge 17, and edge 14 is moved to edge 18. In this way, the electronic device can display the weather window 1002 on the interface after alignment according to the display grid. It can be seen that after alignment according to the display grid, the display of weather window 1002 can cover an integer number of display grids, thereby achieving a clean display effect.

It will be appreciated that the size of the weather window may change after the alignment operation as shown in fig. 9 or 10. For example, the alignment operation of fig. 10 is taken as an example. The size of the weather window 1002 is different from the size of the weather window 1001. Then, before displaying after the alignment operation, the electronic device may also scale the display content in the window according to the window size after the alignment operation, so that the corresponding content is reasonably displayed in the window after the adjustment (such as the weather window 1002).

In different implementations, when windows of different application programs are displayed, the electronic device may perform grid alignment of the windows according to the schemes of fig. 9 or fig. 10, so as to obtain an alignment display effect based on the display grid.

As a possible implementation, the user may input a preset first operation when opening a certain application program to perform full-screen display, and trigger the window alignment display shown in fig. 9 or fig. 10.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 11, a schematic diagram of a user input first operation is shown. In this example, the window display of the weather application continues to be taken as an example. The first operation may include: and (5) one-hand kneading operation. As shown in fig. 11, in the case where the electronic device displays the weather application full screen, the user can pinch the operation with one hand with the input on the interface. In response to the one-hand pinching operation, the electronic device may perform the alignment and display of the weather window to the display grid according to the scheme shown in fig. 9 or 10.

In other embodiments, referring to FIG. 12, a schematic diagram of yet another user input first operation is shown. In this example, the window display of the weather application continues to be taken as an example. The first operation may include: and (5) a double-hand kneading operation. As shown in fig. 12, in the case where the electronic device displays the weather application full screen, the user can pinch the operation with both hands with the input on the interface. Wherein the two-hand kneading operation may include: the user presses a point on the diagonal of the display screen with one finger each using both hands. Simultaneously controlling two fingers to slide towards the center of the display screen. In response to the two-hand pinch operation, the electronic device may perform the alignment and display of the weather window to the display grid according to the scheme shown in fig. 9 or 10.

In other embodiments, the gesture triggering the alignment display as shown in fig. 9 or 10 may be other gestures preset by the user. In other embodiments, the alignment display as shown in FIG. 9 or FIG. 10 may also be triggered by other means, such as a user's voice command. Such as entering voice instructions at the user: in the case of "window alignment display", an alignment display operation as shown in fig. 9 or 10 is triggered.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present application, a functional control may also be displayed in the aligned application window. The functionality control may be used to adjust the window that is displayed in alignment. As illustrated by way of example in fig. 13. A functionality control 1301 may be displayed at the top of the weather window. The functionality control 1301 may be used to provide functions of moving a window, resizing a window, closing a window, and the like. For example, as shown in fig. 13, the user may press the function control 1301 and input a drag operation. In response to the operation, the electronic device can adjust the display position of the weather application according to the emphasis of the drag operation. For example, a weather window is moved from location 1302 to location 1303 for display.

In other implementations, the user may also input operations such as double click, long press, and circling to the function control 1301, so as to implement control over size adjustment, closing, and the like of the application window. Wherein each operation corresponds to a corresponding function one by one. The correspondence may be preset in the electronic device, or may be user-defined. Illustratively, referring to FIG. 14, window size adjustment is triggered by a double click operation on functionality control 1301, for example. The user may input a double click operation to the function control 1301. In response to this operation, the weather window may enter a size adjustment active state. As an example, upon entering the size-adjustment-enabled state, the application window may be highlighted and/or bezel-bolded, etc., thereby prompting the user that the window size adjustment may be made. The user may then enter an adjustment operation on the edges of the window that are to be resized. For example, as shown in fig. 14, the user may input a drag operation to the left to the right, thereby instructing the electronic device to zoom out the weather window from the right. In response to the operation, the electronic device may retract the right side of the weather window to the left, and the retract end point may correspond to an end point of the user drag operation. It will be appreciated that, in conjunction with the foregoing description, after retraction, the right side of the weather window may still be attached to a grid line closest to the end point corresponding to the user drag operation. It will be appreciated that after the weather window size has changed, the content displayed therein may be adjusted accordingly for normal display. In this way, the electronic device can display the resized window interface 1401 in accordance with the instruction of the user.

Of course, in other implementations of the application, other controls may be provided at the top of the window for quick operation by the user. For example, a close button 1304 may be displayed at the top of the window so that clicking on the close button 1304 enters an indication when the user desires to close the window.

In the above description of fig. 9-14, a single application window display mechanism based on a display grid is described in detail for the present application. In some embodiments, in the case where the single application window performs the above alignment display, the electronic device may further display information of other applications in an area other than the application window on the display screen.

Illustratively, in connection with fig. 15, the electronic device may display a weather window 1501 after being aligned with the display grid under the control of the user. In other areas on the display screen, the electronic device may also display an application window aligned with the grid. For example, the electronic device can also display other application windows 1502 on the display screen. Icons for a plurality of applications may be included in the other application window 1502. The user can input an operation to an icon of an application program in the other application window 1502. In response to an operation input by the user, the electronic device can display corresponding content in the other application window 1502. For example, the electronic device may display a window of the calendar application on the display screen after the user clicks on an icon of the calendar application. In some implementations, the window of the calendar application may overlay other application windows 1502. Reference may be made to the foregoing examples for specific illustration and alignment with the grid, and details are not provided herein.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may perform window display of a single application under the direction of the user, without regard to the application window size, i.e., display of other application windows according to the scheme shown in fig. 15.

In other embodiments, the electronic device may also display other application windows according to the scheme shown in fig. 15, where it is determined that the window of the single application is smaller than the preset size. It will be appreciated that in the event that the window of a single application is set by the user to be greater than a preset size, then the single application is already able to provide most of the information that the user is currently desiring. I.e. the current user has no need to use other applications. In this case, therefore, the electronic device may not display other application windows. Conversely, in the case where the window of a single application is set by the user to be smaller than the preset size, it is indicated that the user may need to acquire more information by opening other applications. In this case the electronic device may display other application windows according to the scheme as shown in fig. 15.

In other embodiments, the electronic device may also set an application sidebar on the display screen, unlike other application windows 1502 as in FIG. 15. For example, refer to fig. 16. The electronic device can display the weather window 1601 through grid alignment under the user's operation. In addition, an application sidebar 1602 may also be displayed on the display screen of the electronic device. Icons for a plurality of applications may be included in the application sidebar 1602. In some implementations, the application sidebar 1602 may also be aligned with the grid. In this way, the electronic device can have a smaller display area, and a shortcut operation window of other users is provided for the users. In conjunction with the triggering of fig. 15, in some implementations, in a case where the window of the opened application is larger than the preset size, the electronic device may provide display of icons of other applications according to the scheme shown in fig. 16. Thereby providing the user with a more varied selection of operations for the application in a smaller display space.

It should be noted that, in the schemes shown in fig. 15 or fig. 16, the current electronic device is taken as an example, where no other application program is running. In other embodiments, in the case that the electronic device has already running another application different from the weather application in the background, after the window alignment display of the weather window is performed according to the above scheme, the electronic device may display the already-running application program in the form of a window in another area on the display screen. The window alignment procedure of this procedure may refer to the previous example and will not be described here again.

Based on the solution example shown in fig. 15, in some implementations, the electronic device can sequentially present icons of other applications (e.g., weather applications) different from the currently open application to the user in other application windows 1502 in the order of the respective application programs displayed on the main interface.

In other embodiments, the electronic device may also preferentially present icons of applications having a strong correlation with the currently open application in other application windows 1502 according to the currently open application.

It will be appreciated that the electronic device may provide the user with comprehensive information and functionality through a number of different applications in different use scenarios of the user. In this example, the electronic device may be preconfigured with at least one application group corresponding to a scene. The one application group may include at least two applications associated with the scene. That is, two or more applications in the one application group are applications with strong correlation. In other embodiments, the creation of the application group, and the addition/deletion of applications therein, may also be self-setting and stored by the user through a setup interface provided by the electronic device.

As an example, fig. 17 shows a logical illustration of a corresponding application group in several scenarios. As shown in fig. 17, in the net lesson scenario, the corresponding application program group may include a translation application, a schedule application, a video application, a memo application, a countdown application, and the like. In an environmental scenario, the corresponding set of applications may include a calendar application, a weather application, a clock application, and the like. In an office scenario, the corresponding application program group may include a calendar application, a weather application, an office chat application, a calendar application, a to-do application, and the like. In a navigation scenario, the corresponding application program group may include a phone application, a music application, a map navigation application, a smart home application, and the like.

In this example, the application program group shown in fig. 17 may be preconfigured in the electronic device. Of course, the user may also adjust the set of pre-configured applications as desired.

Based on the setting of the application group as shown in fig. 17, in some embodiments, the electronic device may preferentially display applications in the same application group as the opened application in the other application window 1502 or the application sidebar 1602 when executing the display scheme as shown in fig. 15 or 16.

By way of example, in connection with fig. 18, taking an application program that has been opened as a weather application, the electronic device executes the display scheme shown in fig. 15. As shown in fig. 18, the electronic device may display a weather window 1501 under the control of the user. Correspondingly, in the other application window 1502, icons of other applications having a strong correlation with the weather application may be preferentially presented. For example, in connection with the example of fig. 17, weather applications may be included in a group of environmental applications as well as a group of office applications. Then, the electronic device can display the application group 1503 corresponding to the environment application group and the application group 1504 corresponding to the office application group in the other application window 1502. Thus, when a user needs to use other applications in the environment application program group, an operation can be input to the corresponding icon in the application program group 1503 in order to open the corresponding application. Similarly, when a user needs to use other applications in the set of office applications, the corresponding icons in the set of applications 1504 can be manipulated to open the corresponding applications.

It will be appreciated that due to the limitations of the display area on a single page, all application groups cannot be presented at once in other application windows 1502. Then the other application window 1502 may also provide a slide-left function. This sliding left and right may trigger other application windows 1502 to display different window interfaces. Application icons for different application groups may be displayed on different window interfaces. Wherein the group of applications that do not have a strong correlation with the currently opened application may be displayed after the group of applications that have a strong correlation with the currently opened application.

Exemplary, fig. 19 is incorporated. The user may enter a sliding (e.g., left-sliding) operation in the other application window 1502. Correspondingly, the electronic device may display other application program groups different from the application program group 1503 and the application program group 1504 in the other application window 1502. It will be appreciated that in connection with the example of fig. 17, the application program group having a strong correlation with weather applications may be application program group 1503 as well as application program group 1504. Then, after the user inputs a left-hand slide operation, the electronic device may display an application program group that does not have a strong correlation with the weather application in the other application window 1502. For example, as shown in fig. 17, an application group 1505 corresponding to a navigation application group and an application group 1506 corresponding to a net lesson application group may be displayed in the other application window 1502. Thereby facilitating user operation of applications in other application groups.

Thus, by way of example as in fig. 15-19, the electronic device may provide the user with icons of more applications to facilitate user input of operations for other applications. The electronic device can preferentially display the application programs with strong correlation to the user according to the preset application program group, so that the user can configure an application program display mechanism of the electronic device according to own preference. And further, more convenient and rapid application operation experience is obtained.

It will be appreciated that the window display of the single application and/or multiple applications described above may be based on grid alignment in the previous examples. Thus, even if two or more windows are opened to be displayed simultaneously, the display base units of the respective windows are the same display grid. Thus, when a plurality of windows are displayed simultaneously, the electronic equipment can provide a simple and easy-to-operate display interface.

The scheme that the electronic device simultaneously opens a plurality of application programs to display is illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Illustratively, the electronic device is shown with an interface as shown in fig. 18. As described above, in some embodiments, the electronic device may perform an icon input operation on any one of the other application windows 1502 under the operation of the user, so as to open a corresponding application window, and overlay the other application window 1502 and the weather window 1501 to be displayed together on the display screen.

In other embodiments, the user may also enter operations for corresponding controls in an application group when all applications of a certain application group need to be opened. In response to the operation, the electronic device can skip display an application window including all of the application program groups. For example, please refer to fig. 20. The user can input operations to the control 2001 in the other application window 1502. The control 2001 may provide the functionality to open all applications of the application group 1504 corresponding to the office application group for window display. In response to the operation of control 2001, the electronic device can skip to display an interface including window 2003-window 2006. Where each window corresponds to an application in one of the application groups 1504. For example, window 2002 is an application window of a calendar application, window 2003 is an application window of an office chat application, window 2004 is an application window of a calendar application, window 2005 is an application window of a to-do application, and window 2006 is an application window of a weather application.

In the present application, one or more main programs may be included in any one of the application program groups. The main program can be preset for a user, or the electronic equipment is determined by itself according to historical use data of the user, or the electronic equipment is obtained from cloud big data. The main program may provide the main display information of the application program group, i.e., the application window of the main program may have the largest display area. For example, in an office application group as shown in fig. 20, a calendar application may be provided as a main application of the application group in a middle position of a display screen and have a larger display area than other application windows.

In some embodiments of the application, an application group may correspond to one or more preset display layouts. The display layout may be used to indicate information such as the display position, window size, etc. of each application window. The display layout may be preset in the electronic device by the user, or may be generated by the electronic device according to the composition of the application program group. In different display layouts, each application window may be displayed based on the display grid alignment in the previous example.

Illustratively, in some embodiments, fig. 20 is incorporated. After receiving the operation of displaying the office application group input by the user, the electronic device may display each application window according to the display layout corresponding to the office application group.

As shown in fig. 20, the window 2002 corresponding to the main application (i.e., calendar application) covers the most number of display meshes. The window 2002 may be disposed in an intermediate position of the display screen to display an interface corresponding to the calendar application. Around window 2002, application windows for other applications may be displayed. For example, a window 2003 of an office chat application, and a window 2004 of a calendar application are displayed on both sides of the window 2002, respectively. A window 2005 corresponding to the backlog application and a window 2006 corresponding to the weather application may be displayed below the windows 2002 and 2003, respectively, in the lateral direction.

In other embodiments, fig. 21 is incorporated. Taking the example of an electronic device displaying an application program group as shown in fig. 19, the other application window 1502 does not include the currently opened application. The user may enter an operation (e.g., a click operation) on a control 2002 corresponding to the navigational application group (i.e., application group 1505) in the other application window 1502. In response to the operation, the electronic device may display the respective application windows in a display layout corresponding to the set of navigation applications.

As shown in fig. 21, the host application corresponding to the navigation application program group may be a map navigation application. Then the display grid covered by the window 2101 corresponding to the host application (i.e., the map navigation application) is the largest. The window 2101 may be disposed in a middle position of the display screen to display an interface corresponding to the map navigation application. Around window 2101, application windows for other applications may be displayed. For example, on the lower side of the window 2101, a window 2102 of a music application, a window 2103 of a smart home application, and a window 2104 of a phone application may be displayed from left to right, respectively.

Similar to fig. 20 or 21, the electronic device can also display respective application windows of the class application program group as shown in fig. 22 under the direction of the user. As shown in fig. 22, in the net lesson application group, two main applications, such as a video application and a memo application, may be included. Then, in the multiple application windows displayed according to the preset layout corresponding to the net lesson application program group, the window 2201 corresponding to the video application and the window 2202 corresponding to the memo application may cover more display grids. For example, the window 2201 and the window 2202 may be horizontally arranged at the middle upper portion of the display screen. Below the window 2201 and the window 2202, a window 2203 corresponding to the translation application, a window 2204 corresponding to the countdown application, and a window 2205 corresponding to the schedule application may be displayed, respectively.

Thus, the electronic device can quickly and neatly display each application window of the application program group on the interface based on the display grid according to the preset layout.

In the foregoing description, after the user inputs an instruction to display a multi-application window of a certain application program group (an operation for the control 2001 as shown in fig. 20 or an operation for the control 2002 as shown in fig. 21), the electronic device may display the multi-application window according to a preset layout corresponding to the application program group. In some embodiments, the electronic device may further input an operation to the application window displayed based on the preset layout, so as to implement adjustment of the application window.

Illustratively, the example of fig. 13 is incorporated. In this example, when the electronic device displays multiple application windows, a functionality control may be displayed in each application window. The functionality control may be used to implement display adjustment for the current window.

As an example, the electronic device displays a multi-application window corresponding to the web class application group as shown in fig. 22. As shown in fig. 23. In window 2201 of the video application, functionality control 2301 may be displayed. The functionality control 2301 is used to provide window movement, window sizing, etc. functionality for the window 2201. Illustratively, the user can enter a double-click operation on the functionality control 2301, indicating that a zoom-in window 2201 is displayed. In response to this operation, the electronic device can zoom in on window 2201 and set it on top.

It can be appreciated that, in this example, based on the preset layout corresponding to the web class application program group, application windows of all application programs are not overlapped with each other when displayed. Based on the operation of the pair of functionality controls 2301, such as the double click operation described above, the electronic device can flexibly adjust for the display of an application window. For example, the window 2201 is enlarged to window 2302 for overhead display. It can be seen that the display area of window 2302 can overlay at least a portion of other application windows. Thereby facilitating the ability of the user to view a larger display area video stream.

In some embodiments of the present application, the display area outside of the enlarged displayed video application window (e.g., window 2302) may also display at least a portion of other application windows in order to achieve other display effects.

For example, the user may click on a portion of window 2202 of the memo application that is not covered by window 2302 while window 2302 of the video application is displayed. In response to this operation, the electronic device can set up the window 2303 corresponding to the display memo application with the window 2302 displayed. Thereby facilitating the user to quickly record the content in the memo application.

In other embodiments, the user may also double click on the functionality control 2301 with the window 2302 of the video application displayed. In response to this operation, the electronic apparatus can return to displaying the layout display as shown in fig. 22.

It should be appreciated that in the example of fig. 23, the resizing of the window is illustrated by way of example in which the user implements double-click operation of the functionality control 2301. In other embodiments of the present application, the user may also implement the effects of adjusting and moving the window size through other preset operations. The embodiment of the application does not limit the implementation of the specific triggering operation of the window adjusting function.

Thus, by the above examples of fig. 21-23, the electronic device is enabled to quickly make multi-application display of windows based on a display grid. In addition, a customized adjustment function for each window is provided, so that the user can flexibly adjust the display of the window according to personal habits and current specific conditions.

It should be noted that, in conjunction with the foregoing description, the electronic device may open at least one application under the instruction of the user, and implement multi-application window display of the preset application group under the mechanism shown in fig. 18 or fig. 19. In other embodiments, the electronic device may perform the multi-application window display of the preset application program group according to the preset layout under the instruction of the user even without opening any application. For example, in connection with fig. 24. In the case where the electronic device is displayed with a desktop, the user may input a voice instruction. Such as: and opening the net lesson application program group. In response to the voice command, the electronic device may search for the class application group and display application windows of respective applications in the class application group as shown in fig. 22 according to a corresponding preset layout.

Therefore, based on the display grid, the electronic device can provide clear and convenient window display of single application or multiple applications, so that a user can use functions provided by various application programs in the electronic device more efficiently and conveniently.
