For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those listed but may optionally include other steps or elements not listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "such as" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete fashion.

In the description of the present application, unless otherwise indicated, the meaning of "a plurality" means two or more. "and/or" herein is merely an association relationship describing an association object, and means that three relationships may exist, for example, a and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone.

In the existing split screen scheme, a user needs to open an application interface (or called an application window or called an application running interface) displayed in full screen, and then drag in icons of other applications (or called application programs) to realize split screen display of a plurality of application interfaces. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 1 (1), the tablet computer displays a main interface 100, wherein icons of one or more applications are included in the main interface 100, and the icons of the applications can be used to open a running interface of the corresponding applications. Such as: the tablet detects a click operation such as the user's icon 101 of the gallery application, and in response to this operation, as shown in fig. 1 (2), the tablet may display the running interface 110 of the gallery application in a full screen manner.

And then the user can realize the split-screen display of the running interface 110 of the gallery application and other application interfaces by calling out the intelligent multi-window mode. As shown in (2) of fig. 1, the tablet detects an operation such as a user sliding from the edge of the screen to the inside, and in response to the operation, as shown in (3) of fig. 1, the tablet displays a smart multi-window 120 in which icons of one or more applications are included in the smart multi-window 120. The user can drag the icon of a certain application to the display area of the running interface 110 of the gallery application, so as to realize the split-screen display of the running interface of the application and the running interface 110 of the gallery application.

The foregoing is merely illustrative of the structure of the electronic device 400 in the embodiments of the present application, but is not meant to limit the structure and form of the electronic device 400. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the structure and the form of the electronic device 400. By way of example, fig. 5 illustrates another exemplary architecture of an electronic device 400. As shown in fig. 5, the electronic device 400 includes: processor 501, memory 502, transceiver 503, and display 504. The processor 501, the memory 502, and the display 504 may be implemented as those of the electronic device 400 shown in fig. 4. A transceiver 503 for the electronic device 400 to interact with other devices. The transceiver 503 may be a device based on a communication protocol such as Wi-Fi, bluetooth, or other.

In other embodiments of the present application, electronic device 400 may include more or fewer components than those shown in fig. 4, 5, or may combine certain components, or split certain components, or replace certain components, or a different arrangement of components. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

The technical solutions related to the following embodiments may be implemented in devices having structures as shown in fig. 4 and 5.

The split screen display method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking the electronic device 400 as an example of a tablet computer.

In some embodiments, the split screen display of the plurality of application interfaces may be implemented by icons of the applications displayed on the tablet computer desktop.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6 (1), the tablet computer displays a main interface (or desktop) 600 (which may be referred to as a first interface), wherein icons of one or more applications are included in the main interface 600. Wherein the icons of the applications may be individually displayed on the main interface 600, such as an icon of an application mall, an icon of a setup application, an icon of a camera application, and the like. And may also be displayed in the main interface 600 in the form of a folder. Alternatively, the aforementioned folders may be small folders, such as folder 601, or large folders, such as folder 602. Wherein folder 601 or folder 602 may be referred to as a target folder. Alternatively, the applications included in the folder 601 may both support split-screen display, or some applications may support split-screen display, and another application may not support split-screen display. Similarly, applications included in folder 602 may both support split-screen display, or some applications may support split-screen display and some applications may not support split-screen display.

It will be appreciated that large folders support operating icons of applications in a folder directly to open the running interface of the application within the folder without opening the folder. Illustratively, as shown in (1) of fig. 6, the user may directly operate an icon of the application in the folder 602, such as the tablet detects a click operation of the icon 603 of the gallery application in the folder 602 by the user, and in response to the operation, the tablet may display a running interface 610 of the gallery application, as shown in (2) of fig. 6.

The small folder needs to be opened first to support the operation of the icons of the applications in the folder, so as to open the running interface of the applications in the folder. The user needs to open the folder 601 included in the main interface 600 as shown in fig. 6 (1) first to operate the icons of the applications in the folder 601. As shown in fig. 7 (1), as the tablet detects a click operation such as a user on the folder 601, in response to the operation, the tablet opens the folder 601, as shown in fig. 7 (2), the tablet displays a folder interface 700, wherein the folder interface 700 is used to display icons of applications in the folder 601. Then, the tablet detects a click operation such as the user's icon 701 of the calculator application shown in (2) of fig. 7, and in response to the operation, the tablet displays a running interface 710 of the calculator application as shown in (3) of fig. 7.

The following describes a scenario in which an operation interface of an application included in a small folder is displayed in a split screen.

In some embodiments, the user may operate directly on unopened folders to call up one or more split-screen styles (or split-screen templates). As shown in fig. 8 (1), the tablet detects a long press operation by a user on the folder 601 included in the main interface 600 shown in fig. 6 (1), and in response to the operation, the tablet may display a split-screen style bar 801 including one or more split-screen styles (only 3 shown in fig. 8 (2) and fig. 8) in the split-screen style bar 801, such as an interface 800 shown in fig. 8 (2) or an interface 810 shown in fig. 8 (3). Wherein the one or more split-screen styles may be used to implement split-screen displays of multiple application interfaces.

It will be appreciated that the manner in which the split-screen style is invoked described above is merely one possible example, and that the user may also take other actions, such as: the split screen style is called by various gesture operations such as sliding, multi-clicking, double-finger pinching, sliding from the screen edge to the inside, key operation, voice operation, and the like, which is not limited in this application.

In other embodiments, the user may open the small folder and then perform the corresponding operation to call up one or more split-screen styles. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7 (1), the tablet detects an operation such as a user clicking on the folder 601, and in response to the operation, the tablet opens the folder 601, and as shown in fig. 7 (2), the tablet displays a folder interface 700. At this time, the user may call out one or more split-screen styles by operating in the folder interface 700. As shown in (1) of fig. 9, the tablet computer detects an operation of the user for calling up the split-screen style, such as: the present application does not limit any of these operations, such as long pressing, sliding, clicking, etc. of icons of any one or more applications included in the folder interface 700 by the user, or long pressing, sliding, etc. of various types of operations performed by the user on the folder interface 700, or other gesture operations, voice operations, key operations, etc. In response to this operation by the user, the tablet computer may display a split-screen style bar 801 as in interface 900 shown in (2) of fig. 9 or as in interface 910 shown in (3) of fig. 9, wherein one or more split-screen styles (only 3 are shown in (2) of fig. 9 and (3) of fig. 9) are included in the split-screen style bar 801. Wherein the one or more split-screen styles may be used to implement split-screen displays of multiple application interfaces.

It may be appreciated that in the embodiment of the present application, since the display area of the split-screen style field 801 is limited, the split-screen style included in the split-screen style field 801 may be only partially presented on the display screen. Optionally, the user may also enable the split-screen style that is not currently displayed on the display screen to be presented, that is, enable the browsing display of the split-screen style, by performing an operation such as sliding in the split-screen style field 801.

Alternatively, the split-screen style bar may be displayed in a shortcut (shortcut) form (such as the split-screen style bar 801 shown in (2) in fig. 8 or (2) in fig. 9), or may be displayed in a smart multi-window form (such as the split-screen style bar 801 shown in (3) in fig. 8 or (3) in fig. 9), which is not limited in the display manner of the split-screen style bar, that is, in the display manner of the split-screen style. In addition, the display position of the split-screen style bar is not limited in the application, that is, the display position of the split-screen style is not limited in the application, for example: the split style bar may also be displayed in a drop down notification bar, a negative one screen, or the like.

It will be appreciated that the number of split screens (e.g., 2 split screens, 3 split screens, 4 split screens, etc.) and/or the arrangement of the split screens (or a preset rule of arrangement) included in different split screen patterns may be different, and a user may select a desired split screen pattern according to the need. The number of split screens included in the split screen style may be greater than, or equal to, or less than the number of applications included in the folder. When a user triggers the display of one or more split-screen styles, such as those described above, in some embodiments, the tablet may display a preset full split-screen style, i.e., the split-screen style field 801 may include a preset full split-screen style, where the number of split-screens included in the split-screen style may be greater than, less than, or equal to the number of applications (or icons of applications) included in the folder.

It should be noted that, the maximum number of split screens that can be supported by the tablet pc may be set by a developer according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this application.

In other embodiments, the tablet computer may display only a predetermined partial split-screen style, that is, the split-screen style field 801 may include a predetermined partial split-screen style. For example: the tablet may determine which split-screen styles to display based on the number of applications included in the folder. In some examples, the tablet computer may display only the same number of split patterns as the number of applications included in the current folder (in the present embodiment, the number of split patterns included in the split pattern field 801 is exemplified by this, and the number of split patterns included in the split patterns are exemplified by 4 split patterns). In other examples, the tablet may display a same number of split patterns as the number of applications included in the current folder, and a fewer number of split patterns than the number of applications included in the current folder. In still other examples, the tablet may only display a split style with a number of splits that is less than the number of applications included in the current folder. The method and the device do not limit which part of the split screen style is specifically displayed on the tablet personal computer.

The following describes a process of implementing split-screen display of multiple application interfaces after one or more split-screen styles are called in a small folder scene.

The user may select a desired split-screen style from the one or more split-screen styles recalled as desired. In some embodiments, in conjunction with the example of (2) in fig. 8 or (3) in fig. 8, if the user selects the split-screen style 802 (may be referred to as a target split-screen template), as shown in (2) in fig. 8 or (3) in fig. 8, the tablet detects an operation of the user selecting the split-screen style 802, such as a click operation of the split-screen style 802 by the user, and in response to this operation, the computer may first present an interface 1000 (may be referred to as a second interface) such as that shown in (1) in fig. 10, wherein the split-screen style 802 is included in the interface 1000, and icons of a plurality of applications included in the folder 601 shown in (2) (or (3) in fig. 8), such as: an icon of a clock application, an icon of a calculator application, an icon of a memo application, an icon of a weather application, and the like. Alternatively, the icons of the applications may be icons of all the applications included in the folder 601, or may be icons of only applications supporting split screen display included in the folder 601. Alternatively, the split screen pattern shown in (1) in fig. 10 may be displayed in an enlarged manner in comparison with the split screen pattern shown in (2) in fig. 8 (or (3) in fig. 8) for convenience of user operation.

The user may decide himself which of the split screens is used to display the running interface of which application, e.g., the user may drag icons of a plurality of applications included in the folder 601 shown in fig. 8 (2) (or fig. 8 (3)) into the corresponding split screen of the split screen pattern 802. Illustratively, as shown in (1) of fig. 10, the tablet detects that the user drags the icon 1005 of the clock application to the split screen 1001 included in the split screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1006 of the calculator application to the split screen 1002 included in the split screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1007 of the weather application to the split screen 1003 included in the split screen pattern 802, drags the icon of the memo application 1008 to the split screen 1004 included in the split screen pattern 802, and in response to this operation, the tablet displays the split screen interface 1010, and in the split screen interface 1010, the running interface 1011 of the clock application, the running interface 1012 of the calculator application, the running interface 1013 of the weather application, and the running interface 1014 of the memo application are displayed in a split screen, as shown in (2) of fig. 10. The running interfaces of the applications are displayed in the split screen selected by the user.

It may be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the running interface of each application displayed in the split screen interface (e.g., the split screen interface 1010 shown in (2) in fig. 10) may be a main interface of each application, or may be an interface that is recently opened by each application, which is not limited in this application and is herein collectively described.

In other embodiments, in conjunction with the example of fig. 9 (2) or fig. 9 (3), if the user selects the split-screen style 802, as shown in fig. 9 (2) or as shown in fig. 9 (3), the tablet detects an operation of the user selecting the split-screen style 802, and in response to the operation, the tablet may also first present an interface 1000 such as that shown in fig. 10 (1). Subsequently, the user may drag the icon of the application that wants to split the screen to the corresponding split screen of the split screen style 802 for display as needed, so that the tablet computer presents a split screen interface 1010 such as that shown in fig. 10 (2).

In still other embodiments, the user may also drag the icon of the application shown in fig. 9 (2) or fig. 9 (3) directly into the split screen corresponding to the split screen style 802, so as to implement the split screen display of the application interface. As shown in fig. 11, taking the interface 900 shown in (2) of fig. 9 as an example, the tablet detects that the user drags the icon 1005 of the clock application to the divided screen 1001 included in the divided screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1006 of the calculator application to the divided screen 1002 included in the divided screen pattern 1, drags the icon 1007 of the weather application to the divided screen 1003 included in the divided screen pattern 802, drags the icon of the memo application 1008 to the divided screen 1004 included in the divided screen pattern 802, and in response to this operation, the tablet may present the divided screen interface 1010 such as that shown in (2) of fig. 10.

Optionally, in this embodiment, after the user performs the operation of selecting the split-screen style 802, the tablet computer does not present an interface 1000 such as that shown in fig. 10 (1) in response to the user's selected operation. As shown in (2) in fig. 9, the tablet detects the operation of selecting the split-screen style 802 by the user, and in response to the operation by the user, the tablet interface does not jump, and the interface 900 shown in (2) in fig. 9 is still presented. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 9 (3), when the tablet detects that the user selects the split-screen style 802, the interface 910 shown in fig. 9 (3) may still be presented without jumping on the tablet interface in response to the user's operation. Optionally, the tablet computer may mark the split-screen style selected by the user (e.g., the split-screen style 802 shown in fig. 9 (2) or fig. 9 (3)) in a highlighting, shading, or the like manner under the condition that the interface does not jump, so as to indicate that the split-screen style has been selected by the user. Of course, the user may drag the icon of the application shown in fig. 9 (2) or fig. 9 (3) directly into the corresponding split screen of the split screen pattern 802 without performing the operation of selecting the split screen pattern 802.

In still other embodiments, after the user performs the operation of selecting the split-screen style, the tablet computer may directly present the split-screen interface 1010 such as shown in fig. 10 (2), i.e., without the user having to select which of the split-screens in the split-screen style (e.g., split-screen style 802) is used to display the running interface of which application, e.g., without the user having to perform the operation of dragging the icon of the application into the split-screen included in the split-screen style 802 such as shown in fig. 10 (1), fig. 11, etc. In this example, the tablet may jump directly from an interface such as that shown in (2), (3) in fig. 8, in (2), (3) in fig. 9, etc., to an interface such as that shown in (2) in fig. 10. Optionally, in this embodiment, which of the split screens in the split screen style 802 is used to display which application's running interface may be random, preset, fixed, or dynamically changed, which is not limited in this application.

In this embodiment, if the number of split screens included in the split screen style selected by the user is different from the number of applications included in the folder, for example: if the number of the split screens included in the split screen style selected by the user is 4 and the number of the applications included in the folder is 5, the tablet computer can randomly select 4 applications from the 5 applications included in the folder, and split screen display is performed on the operation interfaces of the 4 applications in the mode described in the embodiment. Or, the user can select 4 applications from the 5 applications, and the tablet computer displays the running interfaces of the 4 applications in a split screen mode in response to the application selected by the user.

The following describes a scenario in which an operation interface of an application included in a large folder is displayed in a split screen.

In some embodiments, the user may also operate directly on the large folder to call up one or more split-screen styles. As shown in fig. 12 (1), on the basis of the main interface 600 shown in fig. 6 (1), the tablet computer detects a long press operation of the folder 602 by a user, and in response to the operation, the tablet computer may display a split-screen style field 801 shown in fig. 8 and 9, such as an interface 1200 shown in fig. 12 (2) or an interface 1210 shown in fig. 12 (3), where the split-screen style field 801 includes one or more split-screen styles, and regarding the description of the split-screen style field 801, the display manner and the display position of the split-screen style field, and which part of the split-screen style is specifically displayed by the tablet computer may refer to the description in the small folder scenario, which will not be repeated herein.

It will be appreciated that the manner in which the split-screen style is called out described above is also merely one possible example, and that the user may also perform other operations, such as: the split screen style is called by various gesture operations such as sliding, multi-clicking, double-finger pinching, sliding from the screen edge to the inside, key operation, voice operation, and the like, which is not limited in this application.

In the following, a process of realizing split screen display of a plurality of application interfaces after one or more split screen styles are called out in a large folder scene is described.

The user may select a desired split-screen style from the one or more split-screen styles recalled as desired. In some embodiments, if the user selects the split-screen style 802, as shown in fig. 12 (2) or fig. 12 (3), the tablet detects an operation of the user selecting the split-screen style 802, such as a click operation of the user on the split-screen style 802, and in response to this operation, in some embodiments, the computer also presents an interface 1300, such as that shown in fig. 13 (1), in which the split-screen style 802 is included in the interface 1300, and icons of a plurality of applications included in the folder 602 shown in fig. 12 (2) (or fig. 12 (3)), such as: icons for video applications, icons for gallery applications, icons for music applications, icons for browser applications, and so on. Alternatively, the split screen pattern shown in fig. 13 (1) may be displayed in an enlarged manner in comparison with the split screen pattern shown in fig. 10 (2) (or fig. 10 (3)) for convenience of user operation.

The user may decide himself which of the split screens in the split screen style is used to display an interface of which application, e.g., the user may drag icons of a plurality of applications included in the folder 602 shown in fig. 10 (2) (or fig. 10 (3)) into the corresponding split screen in the split screen style 802. Illustratively, as shown in (1) of fig. 13, the tablet detects that the user drags the icon 1301 of the video application to the split screen 1001 included in the split screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1302 of the gallery application to the split screen 1002 included in the split screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1303 of the music application to the split screen 1003 included in the split screen pattern 802, drags the icon of the browser application 1304 to the split screen 1004 included in the split screen pattern 802, and in response to this operation, as shown in (2) of fig. 13, the tablet displays the split screen interface 1310, in the split screen interface 1310, the running interface 1311 of the video application, the running interface 1312 of the gallery application, the running interface 1313 of the music application, and the running interface 1314 of the browser application are displayed in split screens. The running interfaces of the applications are displayed in the split screen selected by the user.

In other embodiments, icons of applications in a large folder may be manipulated without opening the large folder. Thus, after the computer presents a plurality of split-screen styles, such as shown in fig. 12 (2) or 12 (3), the user can also drag the icons of the applications in the large folder directly into the split-screen of the desired split-screen style to achieve split-screen display of the application interface. As shown in fig. 14, taking the interface 1200 shown in (2) of fig. 12 as an example, the tablet detects that the user drags the icon 1301 of the video application to the divided screen 1001 included in the divided screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1302 of the gallery application to the divided screen 1002 included in the divided screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1303 of the music application to the divided screen 1003 included in the divided screen pattern 802, drags the icon of the browser application 1304 to the divided screen 1004 included in the divided screen pattern 802, and in response to this operation, the tablet may present the divided screen interface 1310 such as that shown in (2) of fig. 13.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, after the user performs an operation of selecting the split-screen style 802, the tablet computer may not present an interface 1300 such as that shown in (1) of fig. 13 in response to the user's selected operation. As shown in fig. 12 (2), the tablet detects the operation of selecting the split-screen style 802 by the user, and in response to the operation by the user, the tablet interface does not jump, and the interface 1200 shown in fig. 12 (2) is still presented. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 12 (3), when the tablet detects the operation of selecting the split-screen style 802 by the user, the interface 1210 shown in fig. 12 (3) is still presented without jumping on the tablet interface in response to the operation by the user. Optionally, the tablet computer may mark the split-screen style selected by the user (e.g., the split-screen style 802 shown in fig. 12 (2) or fig. 12 (3)) in a highlighting, shading, or the like manner under the condition that the interface does not jump, so as to indicate that the split-screen style has been selected by the user. Of course, the user may drag the icon of the application shown in fig. 12 (2) or fig. 12 (3) directly into the corresponding split screen of the split screen pattern 802 without performing the operation of selecting the split screen pattern 802.

Also, in still other embodiments, after the user performs the operation of selecting the split-screen style, the tablet computer may directly present the split-screen interface 1310 such as shown in fig. 13 (2), that is, without the user selecting which of the split-screens in the split-screen style (e.g., split-screen style 802) is used to display the running interface of which application, such as without the user performing the operation of dragging the icon of the application into the split-screen included in the split-screen style 802 such as shown in fig. 13 (1), fig. 14, and so on. In this example, the tablet may jump directly from an interface such as that shown in (2), (3) in fig. 12 to an interface such as that shown in (2) in fig. 13. Optionally, in this embodiment, which of the split screens in the split screen style 802 is used to display which application's running interface may be random, preset, fixed, or dynamically changed, which is not limited in this application.

According to the scheme, the operation interfaces of the applications included in one folder are displayed in a split screen mode, and the tablet personal computer can also display the operation interfaces of the applications located in different folders in a split screen mode.

In some embodiments, taking a small folder scenario as an example, a tablet detects an operation such as a selected split-screen style 802 performed by a user in fig. 8 (2) (or (3) in fig. 8, or (2) in fig. 9, or (3) in fig. 9), in response to which, as shown in fig. 15 (1), the tablet may present an interface 1500 in which split-screen style 802 is included in interface 1500 along with icons of a plurality of applications included in a folder 601 such as that shown in fig. 8 (2), such as: icons of clock applications, calculator applications, memo applications, weather applications, etc., and icons of applications in one or more other folders (e.g., folder 602) other than folder 601, such as: icons for browser applications, icons for music applications, etc. Alternatively, one or more other folders other than folder 601 may be large folders or small folders, which is not limiting in this application.

The user may drag icons of applications in different folders into the split screen of split screen style 802 to enable split screen display of the running interfaces of the applications in different folders. As shown in fig. 15 (1), the tablet detects that the user drags the icon 1005 of the clock application to the divided screen 1001 included in the divided screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1006 of the calculator application to the divided screen 1002 included in the divided screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1303 of the music application to the divided screen 1003 included in the divided screen pattern 802, drags the icon of the browser application 1304 to the divided screen 1004 included in the divided screen pattern 802, and in response to this operation, the tablet displays the divided screen interface 1510 as shown in fig. 15 (2). In the split screen interface 1510, an operation interface 1011 of the clock application, an operation interface 1012 of the calculator application, an operation interface 1313 of the music application, and an operation interface 1314 of the browser application are split screen displayed. The running interfaces of the applications are displayed in the split screen selected by the user.

Alternatively, icons for which applications in other folders than the folder 601 are specifically displayed in (1) in fig. 15 may be preset, for example: binding relationships of a plurality of folders are set in advance so that, when an interface such as that shown in (1) in fig. 15 is called out through one folder, icons of applications in one or more folders which are in binding relationship with the folder in addition to the folder may be included in the interface. In other words, there is a binding relationship between folders to which icons of applications such as shown in (1) in fig. 15 belong.

Alternatively, the tablet may display icons of applications in one or more other folders displayed on the same main interface as folder 601. Alternatively, icons of applications in one or more folders displayed on a different main interface than folder 601 are displayed. Or, binding relationships of multiple applications are preset, and a part of the multiple applications may be located in the folder 601, another part of the multiple applications may be located in one or more folders other than the folder 601, and the tablet computer may display icons of applications in the folder where the applications having binding relationships with the applications in the folder 601 are located. Alternatively, the type of folder is preset, and the tablet computer may display icons of applications in one or more folders other than folder 601 of the same type as folder 601 or of a different type. The present application does not impose any limitation on icons of which folders other than folder 601 the tablet computer specifically displays applications in.

Alternatively, the icons of the applications in the folders other than the folder 601 shown in (1) in fig. 15 may be displayed on other interfaces, such as the interface shown in (2) or (3) in the icon 8, or the interface shown in (2) or (3) in fig. 9, and the application does not limit the icon display timing of the applications in the other folders.

The embodiment is described by taking a small folder scenario as an example, and the scheme described in the embodiment is equally applicable to a large folder scenario, and is not described here by way of example.

In other embodiments, since the user can directly operate the icons in the large folder, the user can directly drag the icons of the applications in different folders into the split screen of the split screen style, so as to realize split screen display of the applications in different folders. In a large folder scenario, after the tablet computer detects an operation of the user calling up one or more split-screen styles, such as after the user performs an operation such as a long press on the folder 602 shown in fig. 12 (1), the tablet computer may present an interface 1600, as shown in fig. 16 (1), in response to the operation. Among them, the split style bar 801 and the folder 602, and other folders (e.g., the folder 603, etc.) other than the folder 602 are included in the interface 1600.

The user can directly drag the icons of the applications in the folder 602 and/or the folder 603 into the split screen of the split screen style 802, so as to realize split screen display of different application interfaces. As shown in fig. 16 (1), the tablet detects that the user drags the icon 1601 of the short message application to the split screen 1001 included in the split screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1602 of the contact application to the split screen 1002 included in the split screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1303 of the music application to the split screen 1003 included in the split screen pattern 802, drags the icon of the browser application 1304 to the split screen 1004 included in the split screen pattern 802, and in response to this operation, the tablet displays the split screen interface 1610 as shown in fig. 16 (2). In the split screen interface 1610, an operation interface 1611 of the short message application, an operation interface 1612 of the contact application, an operation interface 1313 of the music application, and an operation interface 1314 of the browser application are displayed in split screen. The running interfaces of the applications are displayed in the split screen selected by the user.

Alternatively, for the specific folders shown in fig. 16 (1) other than the folder 602, it may be preset, for example: binding relations of a plurality of folders are set in advance so that, when an interface such as that shown in (1) in fig. 16 is called out through one folder, one or more folders other than the folder and having binding relations with the folder may be included in the interface in addition to the folder. In other words, it is shown that there is a binding relationship between folders such as shown in (1) in fig. 16.

Alternatively, the tablet may display one or more other folders displayed on the same main interface as folder 602. Alternatively, one or more folders displayed on a different main interface than folder 602 are displayed. Alternatively, the type of folder is preset, and the tablet computer may display one or more folders other than folder 602, of the same type as folder 602 or of a different type. The present application does not limit which folders other than folder 602 are specifically displayed by the tablet computer.

Alternatively, one or more folders other than folder 602 may be large folders (as exemplified in fig. 16) or small folders. In the case of a small folder, since icons in the small folder cannot be directly operated, the user can open the small folder first and then perform an operation of dragging the icons of the applications in the small folder and the icons in the folder 602.

Optionally, before the above solution is adopted to implement split-screen display of multiple application interfaces, various ways may be adopted to save the icons of the desired split-screen applications in folders (such as a large folder and a small folder), and in view of the fact that saving the icons of the applications in folders is the prior art, the specific implementation thereof may refer to the existing solution, and will not be described in detail herein. The large folder and the small folder can be mutually converted, and in view of the conversion mode which is also the prior art, the specific implementation of the conversion mode can refer to the existing scheme, and the description is omitted herein.

The following describes a scenario in which an operation interface of an application separately displayed on a desktop is displayed in a split screen.

Illustratively, on the basis of the main interface 600 shown in (1) of fig. 6, as shown in (1) of fig. 17, the tablet detects a long press operation of an icon 1701 such as a calendar application by a user, and in response to the operation, the tablet may display a split-screen style field 801, including one or more split-screen styles in the split-screen style field 801, as shown in (2) of fig. 17 or as shown in (3) of fig. 17. Additional details regarding split style bars are provided above and are not repeated herein.

The user may select a desired split-screen style from the one or more split-screen styles recalled as desired. In some embodiments, if the user selects the split-screen style 802, as shown in fig. 17 (2) or (3), the tablet detects an operation of selecting the split-screen style 802 by the user, and in response to the operation, as shown in fig. 18 (1), the tablet may first present the interface 1800, where the split-screen style 802 is included in the interface 1800, and icons of one or more applications, such as: the icons of the setting applications, the icons of the calendar applications, etc., are not described one by one.

Alternatively, the icons of the one or more applications shown in (1) in fig. 18 may be icons of all or part of the applications individually displayed on the desktop of the tablet computer, and these icons of the applications may include an icon of an application that performs an operation when the split-screen style is called (such as icon 1701 of a calendar application shown in (1) in fig. 17), or may not include an icon of an application that performs an operation when the split-screen style is called (such as icon 1701 of a calendar application shown in (1) in fig. 17), and the scene included in (1) in fig. 18 is exemplified.

In some examples, the binding relationship between the plurality of applications may be preset, and in an interface such as that shown in (1) in 18, the tablet may display an icon of the calendar application and an icon of one or more applications for which the calendar application has a binding relationship. In other examples, the tablet may display icons that are of the same type as the calendar application (as shopping applications, reading applications, video applications, photo applications, etc.) or different types of applications.

Optionally, at different moments, in an interface such as that shown in (1) of fig. 18, the icons of the applications displayed on the tablet may also be changed randomly, or updated periodically, such as: and updating the icon of the application to be displayed according to the operation record, interest and hobbies of the user on the application. It should be noted that, the present application does not impose any limitation on icons of which applications are specifically displayed in the interface 1800 such as that shown in (1) in fig. 18.

The user may decide himself which of the split screens in the split screen style is used to display the interface of which application. As shown in (1) in fig. 18, the tablet detects that the user drags the icon 1801 of the setting application to the split screen 1001 included in the split screen style 802, drags the icon 1802 of the calendar application to the split screen 1002 included in the split screen style 802, drags the icon 1803 of the file management application to the split screen 1003 included in the split screen style 802, drags the icon of the phone application 1804 to the split screen 1004 included in the split screen style 802, and in response to this operation, as shown in (2) in fig. 18, the tablet displays the split screen interface 1810, in the split screen interface 1810, the running interface 1811 of the setting application, the running interface 1812 of the calendar application, the running interface 1813 of the file management application, and the running interface 1814 of the phone application are displayed in a split screen. The running interfaces of the applications are displayed in the split screen selected by the user.

In other embodiments, the icons of one or more applications as shown in (1) in fig. 18 may also be displayed directly on an interface such as shown in (2) or (3) in fig. 17, that is, the tablet computer may display one or more split-screen styles and one or more applications as shown in (1) in fig. 18 at the same time after detecting the operation of the user to call up one or more split-screen styles. Taking the scenario shown in fig. 17 (2) as an example, as shown in fig. 19, a split-screen style bar 801 and one or more applications shown in fig. 18 (1) are simultaneously included in the interface 1900. For implementation of specific applications in the interface 1900 shown in fig. 19, reference may be made to implementation (1) in fig. 18, which is not described herein.

It should be noted that, the icons of one or more applications shown in fig. 18 (1) may also be displayed on other interfaces, and the present application does not limit the timing of displaying the icons of the one or more applications.

In this embodiment, the user may also perform an operation of selecting the split-screen style first, in response to which the tablet computer may present an interface such as that shown in (1) of fig. 18, that is, simultaneously present the split-screen style selected by the user and one or more applications shown in fig. 19, and then drag, as needed, an icon of the application desired to be split-screen displayed into the split-screen included in the split-screen style, and in response to which the tablet computer may present a split-screen interface such as that shown in (2) of fig. 18.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, after the user performs the operation of selecting the split-screen style, the tablet computer may not present the interface such as that shown in (1) in fig. 18, for example, the interface of the tablet computer does not jump, and still present the interface such as that shown in fig. 19, in response to the operation of the user. Optionally, the tablet computer may also mark the screen-splitting style selected by the user in a manner of highlighting, shading, and the like, so as to indicate to the user that the screen-splitting style has been selected, under the condition that the interface does not jump.

In this embodiment, the user may drag the icon of the application that wants to split the screen directly into the split screen included in the split screen style without performing the operation of selecting the split screen style. As shown in fig. 19, the tablet detects that the user drags the icon 1801 of the setting application to the divided screen 1001 included in the divided screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1802 of the calendar application to the divided screen 1002 included in the divided screen pattern 802, drags the icon 1803 of the file management application to the divided screen 1003 included in the divided screen pattern 802, drags the icon of the phone application 1804 to the divided screen 1004 included in the divided screen pattern 802, and in response to this operation, the tablet may present the divided screen interface as shown in (2) in fig. 18.

In some embodiments, the tablet may also display the running interfaces of the applications located in the folder and the applications individually displayed on the desktop in a split screen.

Taking the scenario of a small folder as an example, in an interface such as that shown in (1) in fig. 10, the tablet computer may display, in addition to icons of applications included in the folder 601, icons of one or more applications individually displayed on the desktop, such as icons of address book applications, icons of calendar applications, and the like shown in (1) in fig. 6. Subsequently, the user may drag icons of the applications included in the folder 601 and icons of one or more applications separately displayed on the desktop into the split screen included in the split screen style to realize split screen display of running interfaces of the applications located in the folder and the applications separately displayed on the desktop.

Of course, the icons of the one or more applications individually displayed on the desktop may also be displayed in the interface shown in fig. 11, or in the interface shown in (2) or (3) in fig. 9, or in the interface shown in (2) or (3) in fig. 8, and the display timing of the icons of the one or more applications individually displayed on the desktop is not limited in any way.

Taking the scenario of a large folder as an example, in an interface such as that shown in (1) in fig. 13, a tablet computer may display icons of one or more applications individually displayed on a desktop in addition to icons of applications included in the folder 602. Such as an icon of an address book application, an icon of a calendar application, etc. shown in fig. 6 (1). Subsequently, the user may drag icons of the applications included in the folder 602 and icons of one or more applications separately displayed on the desktop into the split screen included in the split screen style to enable split screen display of the running interfaces of the applications located in the folder and the applications separately displayed on the desktop.

Similarly, the icons of the one or more applications individually displayed on the desktop may also be displayed in the interface shown in fig. 12 (2) or (3), and the application does not limit the display timing of the icons of the one or more applications individually displayed on the desktop.

Optionally, icons of which applications are displayed on the desktop individually specifically by the tablet pc may be preset, for example: the binding relationship between the folder (e.g., folder 601, folder 602, etc.) and the application is set so that, when one or more split-screen styles are called up by the folder, in addition to displaying one or more split-screen styles, the folder (or icons of one or more applications included in the folder), icons of one or more applications that have binding relationship with the folder can be displayed. Alternatively, the tablet may display one or more applications displayed on the desktop on the same main interface as the folder or on a different main interface, and the application is not limited in any way with respect to icons specifically displaying those applications that are individually displayed on the desktop.

In other embodiments, in an interface such as that shown in fig. 18 (1) (or fig. 17 (2) or (3), or fig. 19, etc.), the tablet may also display icons of the folder or applications included in the folder to enable a split screen display of the running interface of the application located in the folder and the running interface of the application separately displayed on the desktop. In this embodiment, the present application also does not limit the display timing of the folder or the icon of the application included in the folder. Nor are icons that specifically display which folders or applications included in folders.

Optionally, in some embodiments, before the user drags the icon of the application into the split screen included in the split screen style to implement the split screen display of the different application interface, the user may further add one or more icons and/or folders of the application that are not displayed on the current interface. Taking the interface 1000 shown in (1) in fig. 10 as an example, as shown in fig. 20, an add button 2000 may be further included in the interface 1000, which may be used to add one or more icons of applications (these icons of applications may be located on a desktop or in folders), and/or one or more folders into the interface 1000, so as to implement a split-screen display of an application that is not located on the current interface and an operation interface of an application that is located on the current interface. It is to be understood that the present application is not limited to the display position, display timing, and the like of the add button 2000.

Alternatively, the add button 2000 may be implemented as a button for other functions, such as a delete button, etc., to delete an icon of an application on the current interface, etc.

It should be noted that the scheme shown in fig. 20 is equally applicable to other scenarios, and this is not illustrated.

The scheme is introduced by calling one or more split screen styles and then realizing split screen display of a plurality of application interfaces by using the called split screen styles. In other embodiments, the split display of the multiple application interfaces may be directly implemented without calling one or more split styles.

In some embodiments, a folder scenario is incorporated. It will be appreciated that the folder may be a large folder or a small folder, and the large folder will be described as an example. Illustratively, the tablet detects an operation of the user for starting the split screen display of the running interface of the application in the large folder, as shown in (1) in fig. 12, the tablet detects a long press operation of the folder 602 shown in (1) in fig. 6, for example, in response to the operation, the tablet may directly split screen display the running interface of the application included in the folder 602. By way of example, the tablet may present a split screen interface 1310 such as that shown in fig. 13 (2).

Or, the tablet computer detects the operation of the user for starting the split-screen display of the operation interface of the application in the large folder, and can also perform the split-screen display of the operation interface of the application included in the large folder and the operation interface of the application (or the application independently displayed on the desktop) in other folders. For example: as shown in fig. 12 (1), the tablet detects a long press operation of the folder 602 shown in fig. 6 (1) by the user, and in response to the operation, the tablet may present a split screen interface 1610 such as that shown in fig. 16 (2).

Optionally, regarding to which applications in folders (or applications that are individually displayed on the desktop) and the running interfaces of the applications in the large file are specifically displayed in a split screen manner, the specific implementation of the method can refer to the implementation of performing the split screen display on the running interfaces of the applications located in different folders, and the implementation of performing the split screen display on the applications located in the folders and the applications that are individually displayed on the desktop, which are not described herein.

It will be appreciated that the operations described in this example for launching a split screen display of an application's running interface in a large folder are merely illustrative and not limiting of the application, and may be other operations, such as: the present application is not limited to this, and various gesture operations such as double clicking on a large folder, key operations, voice operations, and the like.

Alternatively, the tablet detects that the user simultaneously starts the operation of the split screen display of the large folder and other folders (or applications separately displayed on the desktop), such as: the tablet detects an operation such as a user dragging the folder 601 and the folder 602 shown in (1) in fig. 6 so that edges of the two folders overlap, and in response to the operation, the tablet may screen the running interface of one or more applications included in the folder 601 (may be all or part of the applications in the folder 601) and one or more applications included in the folder 602 (may be all or part of the applications in the folder 602). For another example: the tablet detects an operation such as a user clicking on an icon of the setup application and the folder 602 shown in fig. 6 (1), and in response to the operation, the tablet may split-screen display an operation interface of the setup application and one or more applications in the folder 602 (which may be all or part of the applications in the folder 602) (none of which are shown in the figure).

It should be noted that the solution described in this example is equally applicable to small folders, and will not be described here, and specific implementation thereof may refer to implementation of large folders.

In other embodiments, a scene of icons displayed separately on the desktop is combined. In some examples, the tablet computer detects an operation of a split screen interface used by a user to launch a certain application, and in response to the operation, the tablet computer may split screen display a running interface of the application with running interfaces of other applications. Alternatively, the other application may be an application that is located on the desktop alone, or may be an application that is located in a folder on the desktop. Such as: the tablet detects a long press operation by the user on the icon 1701 of the calendar application shown in fig. 17 (1), and in response to this operation, the tablet can directly present a split screen interface 1810 such as that shown in fig. 18 (2).

Optionally, regarding to the specific implementation of the split screen display of the running interfaces of the applications and the running interfaces of the calendar application by the tablet computer, the specific implementation can refer to the implementation of split screen display of the applications located in the folder and the applications individually displayed on the desktop, and the implementation of split screen display of the running interfaces of the applications individually displayed on the desktop, which are not described herein.

In other examples, the tablet detects a user operation of the split screen interface for launching a plurality of applications, and in response to the operation, the tablet may split screen display the running interfaces of all or a portion of the plurality of applications launched by the user. Such as: the tablet computer detects an operation of simultaneously double-clicking the icon of the application mall, the icon of the setting application, and the icon of the calendar application by the user, and in response to the operation, the tablet computer may display the running interface of the application mall, the running interface of the setting application, and the running interface of the calendar application in a split screen manner.

It will be appreciated that the operation of the split screen interface for launching an application described in this embodiment is also merely illustrative, and other operations may be performed, such as: other gesture operations, key operations, voice operations, etc., the present application is not limited thereto.

Optionally, in the solution described in this scenario, in a split screen interface finally presented by the tablet computer, a specific split screen for displaying which application may be a random running interface, a preset running interface, a fixed running interface or a dynamic running interface. The arrangement effect of each split screen in the split screen interface can be random or preset, and the application is not limited to this.

In other embodiments, the split screen display of the plurality of application interfaces may be implemented through one or more application interfaces displayed by the tablet computer.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 21 (1), the tablet computer displays an interface 2100 (i.e., a target interface), in which a plurality of application interfaces (only 4 are shown in fig. 21 (1)) are included in the interface 2100, such as an application interface 2101, an application interface 2102, an application interface 2103, an application interface 2104, and the like. In some examples, these application interfaces are displayed in interface 2100 in the form of a floating window. Alternatively, the multiple application interfaces included in the interface 2100 may all support split-screen display, or some of the application interfaces may support split-screen display, while another part of the application interfaces does not support split-screen display. For example, whether an application interface supports split display may be determined according to whether an application to which the application interface belongs supports split display, if an application supports split display, the application interfaces included in the application may support split display, and if an application does not support split display, the application interfaces included in the application do not support split display. In some embodiments, the user may implement a split display of these application interfaces by calling up one or more split styles. Illustratively, as shown in (2) of fig. 21, the tablet detects an operation that the user overlaps edges of any two (or more) application interfaces among the plurality of application interfaces shown in (1) of fig. 21, and in response to the operation, as shown in (3) of fig. 21, the tablet displays an interface 2120, wherein one or more split-screen styles are included in the interface 2120. Other references to these split screen styles may be made to the description above.

It is to be understood that this operation of calling up one or more split-screen styles is merely illustrative and not limiting of the present application.

In some examples, the tablet may display a preset full split-screen style, i.e., the interface 2120 may include a preset full split-screen style therein. The number of tiles included in these tile styles may be greater than, or less than, or equal to the number of application interfaces included in interface 2100.

In other examples, the tablet may display a preset partial split-screen style, i.e., the interface 2120 may include a preset partial split-screen style. For example: the tablet may determine which split-screen styles to display based on the number of application interfaces included in interface 2100. Such as: the tablet computer may display only the same number of split screens as the number of application interfaces included in the interface 2100 (fig. 21 (3) exemplifies this, and the number of split screens included in the split screen patterns exemplifies 4 split screens. For another example: the tablet computer may display the same number of split patterns as the number of application interfaces included in the interface 2100 shown in fig. 21 (1), and the number of split patterns smaller than the number of application interfaces included in the interface 2100 shown in fig. 21 (1). For another example: the tablet computer may display only the split patterns having the number of split screens smaller than the number of application interfaces included in the interface 2100 shown in (1) of fig. 21. The method and the device do not limit which part of the split screen style is specifically displayed on the tablet personal computer.

The user may select a desired split-screen style from the one or more split-screen styles recalled as desired. Such as: as shown in (3) of fig. 21, the tablet detects an operation of selecting the split-screen style 802 by the user, and in response to the operation, as shown in fig. 22, the tablet displays a split-screen interface 2200, in which, at the split-screen interface 2200, an application interface 2101, an application interface 2102, an application interface 2103, and an application interface 2104 shown in (1) of fig. 21 are split-screen displayed. Alternatively, each application interface displayed in the split screen interface 2200 may be an application interface that supports split screen display. Alternatively, in the split screen interface 2200 shown in fig. 22, which application interface specifically displays which split screen may be random, preset, fixed, or dynamically changed, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, before the tablet computer presents the split screen interface shown in fig. 22, the user may drag the application interface into the split screen of the selected split screen style in a manner such as dragging the icon of the application into the split screen included in the split screen style as described above. That is, in the interface 2120 shown in fig. 21 (3), a plurality of split screen interfaces shown in fig. 21 (1) may be displayed in addition to the split screen style. Alternatively, the split screen style shown in fig. 21 (3) may be displayed directly in the interface 2110 shown in fig. 21 (2). Alternatively, after the user selects the split-screen style 802 shown in fig. 21 (3), the tablet computer may first simultaneously present a plurality of application interfaces and the split-screen style 802 shown in fig. 21 (1), and after detecting that the user drags the application interface into the split-screen included in the split-screen style 802, the tablet computer re-presents the split-screen interface 2200 shown in fig. 22 in response to the operation.

In other embodiments, the user may directly implement the split-screen display of multiple application interfaces without invoking one or more split-screen styles. Such as: the tablet personal computer detects the operation of overlapping the edges of any two (or more) application interfaces in the multiple application interfaces shown in (1) in fig. 21, and in response to the operation, the tablet personal computer can directly perform split-screen display on part or all of the multiple split-screen interfaces shown in (1) in fig. 21. Such as: the tablet may directly present a split screen interface 2200 such as that shown in fig. 22.

Optionally, in this embodiment, when the tablet computer only displays a part of the application interfaces in the application interfaces shown in (1) in fig. 21 in a split manner, specifically, which part of the application interfaces is displayed in a split manner may be preset or may be random. For specific implementations reference is made to the related implementations above.

In some embodiments, the tablet may also display the running interface of the application located in the file (or the application displayed separately on the desktop) in a split screen with one or more application interfaces displayed by the tablet. Such as: the plurality of application interfaces shown in (1) of fig. 23 may be displayed in a main interface 600 such as shown in (1) of fig. 6, and the tablet computer may split-screen display the running interface of the application located in the main interface 600 with the plurality of application interfaces shown in (1) of fig. 23.

Illustratively, the tablet detects an operation of the user for launching a split screen display of the running interface of one or more applications shown in (1) in fig. 6 and the one or more application interfaces shown in (1) in fig. 23, such as: the user simultaneously clicks the icons of the setting applications in the application interface 2301, the application interface 2302, and the main interface 600, and in response to the operation, the tablet pc may display the application interface 2301, the application interface 2302, and the running interface of the setting application in a split screen. Optionally, in which split screen the tablet computer displays each application interface may be random, preset, fixed, or dynamically changed.

Or, the tablet computer detects an operation that the user clicks only on the application interface 2301, and in response to the operation, the tablet computer may display the application interface 2301 and the running interfaces of one or more applications included in the main interface 600 in a split screen manner. Similarly, the tablet computer detects an operation in which the user clicks only an icon of the setup application included in the main interface 600, and in response to the operation, the tablet computer may display the running interface of the setup application and one or more application interfaces shown in (1) of fig. 23 in a split screen manner. Optionally, the binding relationship between the applications may be preset by the tablet computer, so that when the split screen operation is started through one or more application interfaces (or icons of one or more applications), the tablet computer may determine, according to the binding relationship between the applications, which application interfaces and the running interfaces corresponding to the icons of which applications are displayed in a split screen manner. Or setting the type of the application, and subsequently, when the split screen operation is started through one or more application interfaces (or icons of one or more applications), the tablet personal computer can perform split screen display on the running interface of one or more applications of the same type, which belongs to the application interface for starting the split screen operation.

Optionally, in this embodiment, before the tablet computer performs the split-screen display on the one or more application interfaces shown in (1) in fig. 23 and the running interface of the one or more applications included in the main interface 600 shown in (1) in fig. 6, the one or more split-screen styles may be displayed first, and then, in response to the split-screen style selected by the user, the corresponding split-screen interface may be displayed again with reference to the scheme described above.

In some embodiments, the tablet computer may also adjust the split screen position displayed by each application interface in the split screen interface. Taking the split screen interface shown in fig. 22 as an example, the tablet detects an operation such as a user dragging the application interface 2101 to the split screen displayed by the application interface 2103, and in response to the operation, the tablet can exchange the split screen positions (not shown in the figure) displayed by the two application interfaces. Likewise, the user may adjust the position of the split screen displayed by other application interfaces in a similar manner. Of course, the user may also adjust the split screen position of each application interface by using other operations, which is not limited in this application. The scheme is also applicable to other split screen interfaces.

In some embodiments, the tablet computer may adjust the size of each split screen. Such as: the size of each split screen may be adjusted by a dividing line included in the split screen interface, or taking the split screen interface shown in fig. 22 as an example, the tablet detects an operation such as a user moving the dividing line 2201 left and right, and in response to the operation, the tablet may adjust the size of the corresponding split screen (not shown in the figure). Alternatively, the two split screens may be simultaneously sized by one dividing line, or the sizes of more than two split screens may be simultaneously adjusted, which is not limited in this application.

Based on the scheme, a plurality of application interfaces can be rapidly split on the desktop, one full-screen display application interface does not need to be opened first, and then icons of the applications are dragged one by one, so that user operation of a split function is simplified, and split efficiency is improved.

In some embodiments, the tablet computer may also save the split screen interface described above, such as the split screen interface shown in fig. 10 (2), fig. 13 (2), fig. 15, fig. 16, fig. 18, fig. 22, and so on. For example, the tablet computer may store these split screen interfaces in various forms such as icons, service cards, widgets (widgets), and the stored split screen interfaces may be located at various positions such as a desktop, an album, a drop-down notification bar, and a negative screen, which is not limited in this application.

Based on the design, the split screen interface is stored, and the corresponding split screen interface can be opened quickly through the stored split screen interface, so that the split screen efficiency is improved.

Illustratively, taking the split screen interface shown in fig. 22 as an example, as shown in fig. 22, the tablet detects an operation such as a user sliding up from the bottom of the screen in the split screen interface shown in fig. 22, in response to which the tablet may display a multi-tasking interface 2300, wherein the multi-tasking interface 2300 includes one or more history interfaces including interfaces of tasks run in the foreground of the tablet and/or interfaces of tasks run in the background, such as history interface 2301, history interface 2302, history interface 2303, and the like. The history interface 2303 is the split screen interface 2200 shown in fig. 22. The tablet computer can save the history interface 2303, and a subsequent user can directly open a split screen interface such as that shown in fig. 22 through the saved history interface 2303.

As shown in fig. 23 (1), the tablet detects a click operation such as a user on the add button 2304, and in response to the operation, the tablet can save the history interface 2303 on the desktop in the form of a service card. For example, the desktop of the tablet may present a main interface 2310, such as shown in fig. 23 (2), or a main interface 2320, such as shown in fig. 23 (3). The service card saved in the history interface 2303 may be in the form of a service card 2311 shown in fig. 23 (2), and the service card 2311 displays the running interfaces of the applications included in the history interface 2303. The service card 2321 may be in the form of a service card 2321 shown in fig. 23 (3), and icons of applications to which each application interface included in the history interface belongs may be displayed in the service card 2321. The present application is not limited in any way to the specific form of the service card saved by the history interface 2303.

Optionally, the specific form of saving the history interface 2303 in the tablet computer may be default, or may be set or selected by the user. Such as: before the tablet detects a click operation such as the user on the add button 2304, and displays the interface shown in fig. 23 (2) or (3), the tablet may first display one or more options (e.g., service card, widget, icon, etc.), the user may select one or more options, and in response to the user's operation, the tablet saves the history interface 2303 in a corresponding form (not shown).

A split screen interface such as that shown in fig. 22 may be opened by the service card 2311 (or the service card 2321). As shown in fig. 23 (2) (or fig. 23 (3)), the tablet detects a click operation such as a user on the service card 2311 (or the service card 2321), and in response to the operation, the tablet may present a split screen interface 2200 such as that shown in fig. 22.

Alternatively, when the split screen interface is re-opened by a service card such as that shown in fig. 23 (2) or (3), the re-opened split screen interface may be identical to that shown in fig. 22, that is, the running interface of the application displayed in each split screen may be identical to that in fig. 22. Alternatively, the reopened split screen interface may be completely different from or partially identical to the split screen interface shown in fig. 22, i.e., the running interface of the application displayed in each split screen may be completely different from or partially identical to that shown in fig. 22. Such as: the running interfaces of the applications shown in fig. 22 are all the main interfaces of the corresponding applications, and when the split screen interface is opened through the service card, the running interfaces of the applications may be other running interfaces of the applications that have been opened by the current user, instead of the main interfaces of the applications. Of course, the running interface of the application may be the main interface of the application, which is not limited by whether the user has other running interfaces for opening the application.

It may be understood that the service card in the embodiment of the present application may open the corresponding split screen interface, but it is not limited that the re-opened split screen interface is the same as or different from the previous split screen interface.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the operation of dragging the icon or the application interface of the application to the split screen included in the split screen style to realize the split screen display of the application interface is only illustrated as an example, and the user may also perform other operations through other operations, such as: different times of clicking operation or different operations to select different split screen displays for different application running interfaces. It should also be understood that the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application may be used in combination.
