The interface 203 is the user interface 2 of the application 1. At the same time, the tablet continues to display interface 202 within region 1.

In an embodiment of the application, the tablet displays a window management interface on the display screen in response to a user operation 3 of the user interface 1 (or user interface 2). The operation 3 may be an operation of the user dragging down the user interface 1 (or the user interface 2), or in some embodiments, the top of the user interface (including the user interface 1 and the user interface 2) is provided with a top bar, and the operation 3 is an operation of the user pressing the top bar of the user interface 1 (or the user interface 2) for a long time and dragging down the top bar, which is not limited herein. Note that the window management interface may also be referred to as a third interface.

The window management interface includes one or more preview windows, where the one or more preview windows correspond to a user interface (hereinafter referred to as a history browsing interface) that has been recently browsed by the application 1. Wherein the history browsing interface comprises at least the user interface of the application 1 currently being displayed by the tablet, i.e. the user interface 1.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3 (a), the tablet displays an interface 301 in area 1 of the display screen and an interface 302 in area 2 of the display screen. Wherein, the interface 301 includes a top bar 301a, and the interface 302 includes a top bar 302a. In response to an operation of the user holding down the top bar 301a and dragging down the top bar 301a, as shown in (b) of fig. 3, the flat panel display interface 303. The interface 303 includes a preview window 303a, a preview window 303b, and a preview window 303c, which indicate that the user interface corresponding to the preview window 303a (i.e., the interface 301), the user interface corresponding to the preview window 303b (i.e., the interface 302), and the user interface corresponding to the preview window 303c are browsed by the user.

In the window management interface, the preview window corresponding to the user interface displayed in the area acted by the operation triggering the flat panel display window management interface (i.e. the operation 3) is located above other preview windows (hereinafter simply referred to as other preview windows) in the window management interface, and is not blocked by the other preview windows, and the other preview windows are partially blocked by the adjacent preview windows. For example, if the tablet responds to the operation 3 of the user interface 1 of the area 1 to display the window management interface, the area acted by the operation triggering the tablet display window management interface is the area 1, and the user interface displayed by the area 1 is the user interface 1, so that the preview window corresponding to the user interface 1 in the window management interface is located above other preview windows and is not blocked by the other preview windows. For another example, if the tablet responds to the window management interface displayed by the user operating 3 on the user interface 2 of the area 2, the area acted by the operation triggering the tablet display window management interface is the area 2, and the user interface displayed by the area 2 is the user interface 2, so that the preview window corresponding to the user interface 2 in the window management interface is located above other preview windows and is not blocked by the other preview windows.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, the tablet responds to the user operation on the interface 301 of the area 1 to display the interface 303, that is, the area acted by the operation triggering the tablet display window management interface is the area 1, and the user interface displayed by the area 1 is the interface 303, so that in the interface 303, the preview window 303a corresponding to the interface 301 is located above the preview window 303b and the preview window 303c, and is not blocked by the preview window 303b and the preview window 303c, the preview window 303b is partially blocked by its adjacent preview window 303a, and the preview window 303c is partially blocked by its adjacent preview window 303 a. The preview window 303a may be a first preview window, the preview window 303b may be a second preview window, and the preview window 303c may be a third preview window.

It will be appreciated that the preview window available in the window management interface is limited due to limitations in the size of the tablet screen. For example, in the interface 303 shown in (b) of fig. 3, only the preview window 303a, the preview window 303b and the preview window 303c are displayed on the interface 303, but this is not represented by the user having browsed only the user interface corresponding to the preview window 303a (i.e., the interface 301), the user interface corresponding to the preview window 303b (i.e., the interface 302) and the user interface corresponding to the preview window 303c, and the preview windows corresponding to the other browsed user interfaces may be displayed on the interface 303 by means of a left-or right-sliding screen of the user.

In an alternative embodiment, in response to a user's left/right-slide screen operation, the tablet updates the topmost preview window in the window management interface. Wherein the topmost preview window is positioned above other preview windows and is not blocked by the other preview windows.

In addition, the arrangement sequence of the plurality of preview windows in the window management interface corresponds to the sequence of browsing the plurality of preview windows by the user. Under the condition that a user does not slide a screen, a user interface corresponding to the preview window positioned at the topmost end in the window management interface is a user interface which is browsed by the user last before the flat display window management interface, other preview windows are arranged according to the sequence of browsing the user interface by the user from right to left based on the preview window positioned at the topmost end, wherein the preview window corresponding to the user interface browsed later is closer to the preview window positioned at the topmost end and is positioned at the left side of the preview window positioned at the topmost end, and the preview window corresponding to the user interface browsed earliest is positioned at the right side of the preview window positioned at the topmost end. Therefore, in the process of rightward screen sliding of the user, each preview window sequentially becomes the preview window positioned at the top according to the sequence of browsing the user interface by the user.

Or, based on the preview window at the topmost end, other preview windows are arranged according to the sequence of browsing the user interfaces by the user from left to right, wherein the preview window corresponding to the user interface browsed later is closer to the preview window at the topmost end, and is positioned at the right side of the preview window at the topmost end, and the preview window corresponding to the user interface browsed earliest is positioned at the left side of the preview window at the topmost end. Thus, in the process of sliding the screen left by the user, each preview window sequentially becomes the preview window positioned at the top according to the sequence of browsing the user interface by the user.

After all the preview windows have become the top preview windows, the user may continue to slide the screen right or left to perform a new cycle. That is, all preview windows may be looped into the topmost preview window.

Illustratively, as shown in (b) of fig. 3, in response to a user's right-sliding operation of the screen, the tablet may display an interface 304 as shown in (c) of fig. 3. Interface 304 is similar to interface 303, except that interface 304 includes preview window 303a, preview window 303b, and preview window 303d, where preview window 303b is located above preview window 303a and preview window 303d, preview window 303d is located to the left of preview window 303b, preview window 303a is located to the right of preview window 303b, and preview window 303b partially obscures preview window 303a and preview window 303d. The preview window 303d may be a fourth preview window.

Comparing the interface 303 and the interface 304, it can be seen that the user interface that the user has browsed includes at least: the user interface corresponding to the preview window 303a, the user interface corresponding to the preview window 303b, the user interface corresponding to the preview window 303c, and the user interface corresponding to the preview window 303d, and the browsing order is: the user interface corresponding to preview window 303c, the user interface corresponding to preview window 303d, the user interface corresponding to preview window 303b, and the user interface corresponding to preview window 303 a.

In another alternative embodiment, the plurality of preview windows are arranged from left to right (or from right to left) in the window management interface in the order in which their corresponding user interfaces are viewed, such that the later the user interfaces that are viewed correspond to the preview windows that are closer to the right (or left). Illustratively, taking the order from left to right as shown in (a) of fig. 4, the interface 401 includes a preview window 401a, a preview window 401b, a preview window 401c, and a preview window 401d. The preview window 401a, the preview window 401b, the preview window 401c, and the preview window 401d may be a first preview window, a second preview window, a third preview window, and a fourth preview window, respectively.

Wherein the preview window 401a, the preview window 401b, the preview window 401c, and the preview window 401d are arranged in order from left to right, and the preview window 401a is not blocked by any preview window. This indicates that the browsing order of the user is: the user interface corresponding to preview window 401d, the user interface corresponding to preview window 401c, the user interface corresponding to preview window 401b, and the user interface corresponding to preview window 401 a. In response to a user's right-slide operation, as shown in (b) of fig. 4, the interface 402 is displayed on the flat panel. Comparing the interface 401 and the interface 402, the display area of the preview window 401a is reduced, and the display areas of the preview window 401b, the preview window 401c, and the preview window 401d are increased.

In some embodiments, the user may also close the preview window in the window management interface. Wherein, in response to a user's operation of sliding up/down a certain preview window, the tablet does not display the preview window in the window management interface. Optionally, after the tablet does not display the preview window in the window management interface, the positions of other preview windows may be adaptively adjusted.

For example, when the preview window is displayed as shown in fig. 3, if the closed preview window is the top-most preview window, the tablet may display the preview window adjacent to the preview window and located on the left side of the preview window as the new top-most preview window. If the closed preview window is not the top preview window, the tablet displays a preview window adjacent to the preview window and positioned at the left side of the preview window at the position of the preview window.

Illustratively, in response to an operation by the user to slide up the preview window 303b, in response to the operation, as shown in (d) of fig. 3, the interface 305 is displayed on a flat panel. Interface 305 is similar to interface 304 except that interface 304 includes preview window 303a, preview window 303c, and preview window 303d, where preview window 303d is located over preview window 303a and preview window 303c, preview window 303c is located to the left of preview window 303d, preview window 303a is located to the right of preview window 303d, and preview window 303d partially obscures preview window 303a and preview window 303c.

For another example, when the preview windows are displayed in the manner shown in fig. 4, if any one of the preview windows is closed, the tablet may right-shift the preview window located on the left side thereof, respectively. Illustratively, in response to a user sliding up the preview window 401b, as shown in (c) of fig. 4, the flat panel display interface 403. Comparing the interface 403 with the interface 402, the interface 403 no longer includes the preview window 401b.

In an embodiment of the present application, a user may select a user interface from a plurality of preview windows to be displayed on a display screen. For example, in response to a click operation of a certain preview window (for example, a first preview window) by a user, the tablet may display a user interface corresponding to the preview window in an area acted upon by an operation triggering the flat display window management interface.

For example, if the tablet displays a window management interface in response to a user operation on the user interface 1 of the area 1, the tablet displays the user interface corresponding to the preview window 1 in the area 1 in response to a user click operation on the preview window 1. Wherein the tablet may continue to display the user interface 2 of the application 1 in area 2. Wherein the preview window 1 may also be referred to as a first preview window.

For another example, if the tablet displays a window management interface in response to a user operation on the user interface 2 of the area 2, the tablet displays the user interface corresponding to the preview window 1 in the area 2 in response to a user click operation on the preview window 1. Wherein the tablet may continue to display the user interface 1 of the application 1 in area 1.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 5 (a), the tablet displays interface 501 in area 1 of the display screen and interface 502 in area 2 of the display screen. Wherein, the interface 501 includes a top bar 501a, and the interface 502 includes a top bar 502a. In response to an operation by the user to press the top bar 502a long and pull down the top bar 502a, as shown in (b) of fig. 5, the interface 503 is displayed flat. The interface 503 includes a preview window 503a, a preview window 503b, and a preview window 503c, which indicate that the user interfaces corresponding to the preview window 503a (i.e., the interface 501), the user interfaces corresponding to the preview window 503b (i.e., the interface 502), and the user interfaces corresponding to the preview window 503c are browsed, and the preview window 503b is located above the preview window 503a and the preview window 503 c. In response to a click operation of the preview window 503c by the user (i.e., preview window 1 is preview window 503 c), as shown in fig. 5 (c), the tablet displays an interface 501 in the area 1 of the display screen, and displays an interface 504 in the area 2 of the display screen, where the interface 504 is a user interface corresponding to the preview window 503 c.

In some embodiments, in response to a user opening operation 1 of application 1, the tablet displays user interface 1 of application 1 in region 1 of the display screen, does not display user interface 1 in region 2 of the display screen, and displays the taskbar in region 3 of the display screen. Wherein region 1, region 2 and region 3 do not overlap. The taskbar includes one or more windows therein. It should be noted that, the window may be obtained by zooming out the corresponding user interface, which is consistent with the user interface in real time. For example, if the user interface is playing video, then the corresponding window of the user interface also plays video synchronously, except that the window is smaller in size than the user interface. This region 3 may also be referred to as a fourth region.

Optionally, in the taskbar, the window corresponding to the user interface that the tablet is currently displaying is in a highlighted state (which may also be referred to as a first state). Illustratively, the user can distinguish whether the window is in a highlighted state by shading, color of the window outline, or thickness of the window outline. For example, a window in a highlighted state may have shadows, a frame of a particular color (e.g., red, yellow), or a thicker line of the frame, etc.

Illustratively, as shown in (a) of fig. 6, a desktop 601 is displayed flat, and an icon 601a of a picture processing application is included on the desktop 601. In response to the user's operation of the icon 601a of the picture processing application, as shown in (b) of fig. 6, the tablet displays the interface 602 in the area 1 of the display screen, the interface 603 in the area 2 of the display screen, and the taskbar 604 in the area 3 of the display screen. The interface 602 is the home page of the picture processing application. The taskbar 604 includes a window 604a, a window 604b and a window 604c, where the window 604a, the window 604b and the window 604c are sequentially arranged from top to bottom. Window 604a corresponds to interface 602 and window 604b corresponds to interface 603, wherein the outer frame lines of window 604a and window 604b are thicker than the outer frame lines of window 604c, indicating that interface 602 corresponding to window 604a and interface 603 corresponding to window 604b are being displayed and that the user interface corresponding to window 604c is not being displayed. Wherein the window 604a may be a second window and the window 604b may be a third window.

In some embodiments, the location of the area 3 for displaying the taskbar may be system default or may be preconfigured by the tablet prior to shipment, as this is not limiting. As shown in fig. 6 (b), the area 3 is located on the right side of the display screen and on the right side of the area 2.

In the embodiment of the present application, the position of the region 3 for displaying the task bar may be set according to the own needs of the user. By way of example, the region 3 may be a hatched region shown in (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) in fig. 7. Wherein the user can adjust the position of the area 3 according to the requirements.

For example, as shown in (c) of fig. 6, in response to an operation of dragging the taskbar to the left by the user, the tablet displays an interface 602 in an area 1', an interface 603 in an area 2' of the display, and a taskbar 604 in an area 3 'of the display, wherein the area 1' is the same as the area 1, the area 2 'is positioned more rightward with respect to the area 2, and the area 3' is positioned in the middle of the display. That is, when the region 3 is a shadow region shown in (a) of fig. 7, the user dragging the taskbar to the left may cause the region 3 to switch to a shadow region shown in (b) or (c) of fig. 7.

As another example, as shown in fig. 8 (a), the tablet displays an interface 801a in region 1, an interface 801b in region 2, and a task bar 801c in region 3, the task bar 801c including a top bar 802. In response to the user pressing the top bar 802 for a long time, as shown in (b) of fig. 8, the tablet may display a prompt box 803. The prompt box 803 includes an option 803a for "switching display modes" and an option 803b for "hiding", where the option 803a for "switching display modes" can enable the task bar to switch between two display modes, i.e., vertical display and horizontal display, and the option 803b for "hiding" can be used for hiding the task bar. In response to the user's operation of the "hidden" option 803b, the tablet no longer displays the taskbar. In response to the user's operation of the option 803a for "switch display mode", as shown in (c) of fig. 8, the tablet may display a selection frame 804, and the selection frame 804 may include position options of upper, lower, left, middle, and right. In response to the user selecting the upper position option, the tablet may display interface 801a in region 1', interface 801b in region 2' and taskbar 801c in region 3' as shown in (d) of FIG. 8. Wherein, region 1' increases in width and height decreases compared to region 1, region 2' increases in width and height decreases compared to region 2, and region 3' increases in width and height decreases compared to region 3. That is, if the user selects the upper position option, the tablet may display the taskbar in the shaded area shown in (d) of fig. 7. The prompt box 803 may be a second prompt box.

In addition, if the user selects the lower position option, the tablet may display a taskbar in a shaded area shown in (e) of fig. 7; if the user selects the right position option, the tablet may display a taskbar in the shaded area shown in FIG. 7 (a); if the user selects the middle position option, the tablet may display a taskbar in the shaded area shown in FIG. 7 (b); if the user selects the left position option, the tablet may display a taskbar in the shaded area shown in FIG. 7 (c).

In some embodiments, one or more windows in the taskbar correspond to a history browsing interface of application 1. In other words, each time the tablet displays the user interface of application 1 in region 1 or region 2, the corresponding window of the user interface is added in the taskbar. Alternatively, the multiple windows may also be arranged from top to bottom (or from left to right) in the order in which their corresponding user interfaces are browsed, such that the later the browsed user interface the closer to the top (or left) the corresponding window. In this manner, the position of the window corresponding to the user interface currently being displayed by the tablet is always more forward (or left) than the positions of the other windows. Illustratively, in (b) of FIG. 6, window 604c is positioned below window 604a and window 604b, indicating that the time that window 604c corresponds to the user interface is browsed earlier than the time that window 604a, 604b corresponds to the user interface.

In other embodiments, the user may actively fix a user interface in the taskbar. Wherein, in response to the operation that the user presses the user interface 1 and drags the user interface 1 to the area 3 where the task bar is located, the tablet displays a window corresponding to the user interface 1 in the task bar. Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 9 (a), the tablet displays an interface 901 in region 1, an interface 902 in region 2, and a taskbar 903 in region 3, wherein no window is included in the taskbar 903. In response to the user's operation to drag the interface 902 to the right, the tablet continues to display the interface 901 in area 1, the interface 902 in area 2, and the taskbar 904 in area 3, as shown in (b) of fig. 9. As can be seen from fig. 9 (a) and (b), a window 904a is newly added to the taskbar 904.

It will be appreciated that the windows available in the taskbar are limited due to limitations in the size of the tablet screen. In the case where the taskbar cannot display all windows, windows that are not displayed may be displayed in the taskbar in such a way that the user slides left/right or up/down within region 3.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 10 (a), the tablet displays a taskbar 1001 in region 3, the taskbar 1001 including a window 1001a, a window 1001b, a window 1001c, a window 1001d, a window 1001e, and a window 1001f. In response to a user's slide-down operation in the area 3, as shown in (b) in fig. 10, the tablet displays a window 1001d, windows 1001e, 1001f, and 1001g in the task bar 1001.

In the embodiment of the application, the user can make the tablet display the user interface corresponding to the window 1 in the area 1 or the area 2 by operating the window 1 in the task bar. The window 1 may also be referred to as a first window, and the user interface corresponding to the window 1 may also be referred to as a ninth interface.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 11 (a), the tablet displays the interface 1101 in the area 1, the interface 1102 in the area 2, and the taskbar 1103 in the area 3, where the taskbar 1103 includes a window 1103a, a window 1103b, and a window 1103c, where the outline of the window 1103a and the window 1103b is thicker than the outline of the window 1103c, which means that the interface 1101 corresponding to the window 1103a and the interface 1102 corresponding to the window 1103b are being displayed, and the user interface corresponding to the window 1103c is not being displayed. In response to the user dragging the window 1103c to the region 2, as shown in (b) in fig. 11, the tablet displays the interface 1104 in the region 2, the task bar 1105 in the region 3, and continues to display the interface 1101 in the region 1. Wherein, the outer frame lines of the window 1103a and the window 1103c are thicker than the outer frame lines of the window 1103b, which means that the interface 1101 corresponding to the window 1103a and the interface 1104 corresponding to the window 1103c are being displayed, and the user interface corresponding to the window 1103b is not being displayed.

That is, the user can freely select a window in the task bar to display the user interface corresponding to the window on the panel, so that the user interface in the application can be quickly switched, and the switching efficiency of the user interface is improved.

In some embodiments, the user may close a window in the taskbar. In response to a user's long-press operation of window 1 in the taskbar, the tablet may display a delete icon in the upper left/upper right/lower left/lower right of the window 1. In response to the user's operation of deleting the icon, the tablet does not display window 1 in the taskbar. If the user interface corresponding to the window 1 is being displayed by the tablet, the tablet may also stop displaying the user interface corresponding to the window 1 in response to the operation of deleting the icon. In an alternative embodiment, the delete icon may also be referred to as a delete identifier.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 12 (a), the tablet displays a task bar 1201 in area 3, the task bar 1201 including a window 1201a therein. In response to the user's operation of pressing the window 1201a long, as shown in (b) in fig. 12, the tablet displays a delete icon 1201b in the upper right corner of the window 1201a. In response to the user's operation of deleting the icon 1201b, as shown in (c) in fig. 12, the tablet does not display the window 1201a in the taskbar 1201.

Alternatively, the tablet may vibrate to give tactile feedback to the user in response to the user pressing long on window 1201a in the taskbar.

Alternatively, in response to the user's operation of the delete icon 1201b on the basis of (b) in fig. 12, as shown in (a) in fig. 13, the tablet may display a prompt box 1301 including prompt 1301a asking the user to confirm whether to delete the window, confirm option 1301b, and cancel option 1301c. In response to the user's operation of the confirmation option 1301b, as shown in (b) in fig. 13, the tablet does not display a window 1201a in the taskbar 1201. In response to the user's operation of cancel option 1301c, the tablet continues to display window 1201a in taskbar 1201 as shown in (c) of fig. 13.

In some embodiments, the tablet displays the user interface 1 within the region 2 of the display screen in response to a user dragging the user interface 1 from the region 1 to the region 2. After the user drags the user interface 1 to the area 2, the tablet may display the user interface originally displayed in the area 2 in the area 1, display a blank, or display the content on the desktop displayed in the area where the area 1 is located.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 14 (a), the tablet displays an interface 1401 in region 1 and an interface 1402 in region 2. In response to an operation of the user dragging the interface 1401, as shown in (b) in fig. 14, the tablet displays the interface 1402 in the area 1 and the interface 1401 in the area 2.

In some embodiments, the tablet may also switch from displaying two interfaces of application 1 simultaneously to displaying one interface of application 1 separately.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 15 (a), the tablet displays an interface 1501 in region 1 and an interface 1502 in region 2. In response to an operation (which may also be referred to as a second operation) of the user dragging up the interface 1501, as shown in (b) of fig. 15, the tablet displays the interface 1501 in the area 4 of the display screen, the area 4 overlapping with both the areas 1, 2. Wherein the region 4 may also be referred to as a third region and the interface 1501 may be referred to as an eighth interface. On the basis of the operation of dragging down the interface 1501 by the user as shown in (b) of fig. 15, the tablet redisplays the interface 1501 in the area 1 and displays the interface 1502 in the area 2.

In another alternative embodiment, as shown in (a) of fig. 16, a top bar 1501a is included in the interface 1501, and in response to an operation of clicking the top bar 1501a by the user, a prompt box 1503 is displayed flat, as shown in (b) of fig. 16, the prompt box 1503 including prompt information 1503a indicating that the user selects a display mode, full screen option 1503b, and split screen option 1503c. For example, the prompt 1503a may be "please select a display mode". In response to the user's operation of the full screen option 1503b, as shown in (c) of fig. 16, the tablet displays the interface 1501 in the area 4 of the display screen, the area 4 overlapping with both the areas 1, 2. In response to the user splitting screen option 1503c, the tablet continues to display interface 1501 in region 1 and interface 1502 in region 2. The prompt box 1503 may also be referred to as a first prompt box.

In summary, by displaying the window management interface, the window management interface includes preview windows of multiple user interfaces, and the multiple user interfaces are browsed user interfaces in the application, so that a user can select the preview window from the window management interface according to own requirements, and the user interface displayed by the electronic device is directly switched to the user interface corresponding to the preview window selected by the user.
