Abstract

A views management system has a computer display (14) which provides a hideable view bar having pane splitting controls (42,46,48) and a list of open views (44). Through selection of specific ones of the pane splitting controls (42,46,48), a system user can configure the display (14) to show any number and arrangement of tiled views. By simply selecting one of the open views in the list appearing in the view bar, the user can assign that view to the pane currently having focus. The contents of pairs of panes can easily be swapped by a click-drag-drop operation sequence using a cursor- controlling pointing device.

Description

The method of the view on the supervisory computer display, system and computer program
Technical field
The present invention relates to computer system, particularly a kind of method, system and program product that is used for the view (view) on the managing computer system display.
Background technology
No matter computer system once is stand-alone computer (standalone), or the part of network, all is simple relatively low-function equipment, and it is merely able to carry out single application program in any preset time.The display or the control desk that are used for the operation of surveillance are given the user the only demonstration or the view of an operation.Along with individual system or network become more complicated, allow to carry out simultaneously a plurality of tasks, system user need to begin the task that be performed more than or the view of operation.The defective that the direct-vision method of the special-purpose control desk of each different view is had obvious practicability, space and cost aspect.The thing followed is that almost method in common is that development can present the system and the monitor of a plurality of views in any preset time.
Two main method that present a plurality of views on a control desk are the stacked of display window (windows) or pane (panes) and tiling.For convenience of description, can think that two terms " window " and " pane " are same things, just, occupy, but still show the view of the major part of particular figure less than whole indicator screen.In the stacked situation of pane, have only uppermost pane on indicator screen fully as seen.Remaining pane by " heap (stack) " under uppermost pane, often have only title block (titlebar) and, perhaps a vertical edges edge (vertical edge) is arranged as seen.
Tiled view does not overlap each other, but the pane that replaces the level on the indicator screen of occupying or vertically separate.Tiling allows the user to see more information about each represented view, and needn't carry out the required view selection step of stacked view.
Known tiling technology has shortcoming, comprises lacking dirigibility.Some technology with the user be defined in simply, fixing tiling arranges, for example, two pane or panes up and down side by side.When view number that the user wants more than this system in during the fixed number of available pane, will get into trouble.Other technology adopts all or noon (all-or-nothing) method, for each view of opening is set up title.The all or noon method only open the pane number little in, can reach satisfied effect.Along with the number of opening view increases, it is more and more littler that the size of each title must become, and reduced to present to user's useful information amount.
No. 5880725, United States Patent (USP), Southgate are attempted to overcome can existing stacked some prior art problems that exist in the computer user interface of tiling pane's area that have again on screen.If view is displayed in the pane's area of tiling, so, by dwindling view, this view can be fit to free space, if desired, can reach the minimum size that allows.This patent disclosure can be called as the method for " best-fit (best fit) ", wherein, view is moved to available screen space.When this method can be created shown view more neatly, it also can come to an end less than the size of customer requirements significantly with pane.
A well-known operating system makes the user indicator screen can be subdivided into the horizontal or vertical widely framework that separates of kind (frame).Though this operating system is very flexible, so that it allows the total number and the formation of the framework that user definition needs, and needs the step of execution to various frameworks for loading file, quite lacks dirigibility.For the content with specific file is loaded into specific pane, must set up link to file, must key in filename.For each framework in the screen, must repeat this quite loaded down with trivial details process.
Another known system uses the pane of fixed number, but allows the user to use drag-and-drop operation to change pane arrangement each other.Because the number of pane is fixed, this system can not obtain gratifying dirigibility.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, according to first aspect, the invention provides a kind of method of view outward appearance of administration display, this display has the perform region that comprises a view pane at least, and described method comprises the steps: that a view pane in a) the assigned work zone is as focus view pane; B) activate the view bar that comprises one group of pane splitting control and open view list; C) response is divided into two panes to the selection of a pane splitting control with focus view pane, and the content of focus view pane is assigned to first pane in two panes; And d) in the tabulation of response from appear at view bar (view bar) to a selection of opening view, with second pane in selected view allocation to two pane.
Therefore, according to second aspect, the invention provides a kind of system that is used for the demonstration of administration view.Comprise:
A) display has the perform region, and this perform region comprises a view pane that is designated as focus view pane at least;
B) display control subsystem is used to generate the view bar that has pane splitting control and open view list;
C) pane control logical circuit is used to respond the selection to a pane splitting control, and the pane splitting control according to selecting is divided into two panes with focus view pane, and with first pane of content allocation to two pane of focus view pane; And
D) view control logical circuit is used for responding from opening the selection of view list to a view, with second pane in selected view allocation to two pane.
Therefore,, the invention provides a kind of computer program, when moving on computers, make computing machine according to the third aspect:
A) a view pane in the perform region of designated computer display is a focus view pane;
B) view bar on the activation graphoscope, described view bar comprises one group of pane splitting control and the tabulation of opening view;

Embodiment
The various details preferred embodiment, but should be kept in mind that the present invention can carry out with several different forms, for example in specialized hardware or in the combination of software and hardware.Typical combination of hardware is to use the general-purpose computing system of computer program, in case load and computer program, the system that makes is carried out the method step that describes below.Software can be loaded in the general-purpose computing system in advance, perhaps also can be used as computer software product and independently uses, and when being loaded into computer system, the system that makes carries out this method step.
Term in this article " computer program " is in any language, coding or symbol, attempt to make system directly or after converting other Languages to for one group with information processing capability, carry out any expression of the instruction of specific function, and/or the reproduction in the different materials form.
With reference to figure 1, the present invention is the method that is used for managing at the view of the computer system 10 that comprises system unit 12 and monitor or display 14.The computer user can dispose and be used for each view of showing in the perform region 16 of display 14, with the pane of these view allocation to expectation, and exchanges pane with a series of directly perceived, shirtsleeve operations.
When being described in correct programming, can carry out Fig. 2 the Main physical parts of general-purpose computing system of the present invention.Computer system comprises CPU (central processing unit) (CPU) subsystem 20, cache and the logical circuit that has processor and support register.Computer system also comprises random access memory 22, magnetic disk memory 24 and such as the CD-ROM drive 26 of CD-R, CD-RW or DVD driver.Under the situation that the present invention carries out as computer program, generally can at first allow the Systems Operator obtain, to attach it on the hard disk 24 from movably magnetic or optical medium.In case finish initial installation, can as required program be transferred to the random access memory 22 from hard disk 24.Perhaps, also can be as required, with program directly the optical medium from be placed on CD-ROM drive 26 be loaded into random access memory 22.Computer system also comprises system's I/O (I/O) adapter 28, is used to support the modular system parts, for example, and the access of keyboard 30, pointing device 32 and video display 34.At last, computer system can comprise network interface unit 36, and it provides the interface to other network equipment.
At first by being referenced as the change of using the present invention and display appearance being done, by with reference to the process flow diagram that is used to be described as to make the method step that these changes carry out, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described then.At first with reference to figure 3, the initial or default appearance of display comprises the single view (VIEW1) that occupies the whole perform region of display.In default appearance, think view bar, will describe in detail below, along the right of display along hiding.When hiding, view bar is by 38 expressions of thin pixel bars, and it can comprise symbol or the icon of representing view.
The user preferably by moving cursor on pixel bars 38, changes the outward appearance of the perform region of display by activating or open (call up) view bar.In a realization of the present invention, when on pixel bars 38, detecting cursor, view bar automatic expansion or unhide.In another was realized, view bar kept hiding, and carries out selection operation up to the user, for example, click at cursor control device, mouse normally, on a button.
Fig. 4 shows one of use said method, the perform region when unhiding view bar.View bar comprises pane splitting control, have in fact one by one, first pair of button 46, the view pane that is used for being present in the perform region is divided into the pane of two vertical distribution, with second pair of button 42, the view pane that is used for being present in the perform region is divided into the pane of two horizontal distribution.Pane splitting control is only effective to active pane, sometimes, claims that active pane is pane or focus pane or the focus view pane with focus.Under the situation of Fig. 4, VIEW1 is unique pane, defaults to focus view pane.
The not only definite focusing view pane of pane splitting control is cut apart still vertical segmentation as level.According to which is pressed in one group of two button, control determines that it still is the left side (or top is still following) that the pane that will newly create is placed on the right that has pane now.Specifically, as can be seen, selected the triangle of horizontal pane splitting control 42 middle fingers to the right with reference to figure 4.As the result of this selection, create the second view pane (VIEW2) in the perform region on existing VIEW1 the right.The view that originally was included among the VIEW1 still is placed in this pane, and the content of new view pane (VIEW2) is selected by system user opening in the view list 44 from view bar.Fig. 6 shows along with cursor is emphasized the perform region of the display that will occur to the particular figure VIEW2 of newly-built pane.
Perform region when Fig. 6 represents that VIEW1 and VIEW2 are in side by side relationship.In Fig. 6, view bar has turned back to its hidden state.Can at cursor when the view bar zone is removed hiding of view bar be taken place automatically; Perhaps, can carry out the selected operation of certain cancellation initiatively up to the user, for example, click a button, hiding of view bar just taken place at cursor control device according to the implementor's of system purpose.Notice that Fig. 6 represents, owing to be sure of to use this view work just to do these operations for system user that VIEW2 creates pane is likely to needing immediately, so selecting VIEW2 automatically is the focus pane.If the user needs, can make VIEW1 become the focus pane by on the title bar of this view, clicking simply.
Although only shown two panes in Fig. 6, the user can select to create the additional views of arbitrary number.For example, suppose that keeping VIEW2 is the focus pane, the user can select by using vertical pane splitting control, and this pane is divided into the pane of two littler vertical distribution, then, and for the empty pane that is generated selects in the view bar tabulation one to open view.This process can repeat arbitrary number of times, and it significantly is limited in from having the pane of focus arbitrarily, and along with pane is more and more littler, its information that can present to the user is also fewer and feweri.Pane splitting control makes the user easily set up the screen construction of any desired.Visible view list more easily is assigned to particular figure in the sky pane user in view bar.
If the user judges that creating after view tiling arranges this arrangement is not that it is wanted, so, the invention enables user's reflow view and do not change sash profile very simply.With reference to figure 7, VIEW1 is dispensed in the big pane, and VIEW2 and VIEW3 are dispensed in the less pane separately.If the user judges VIEW2 and should be distributed in the big pane, so, can use drag-and-drop operation to exchange view.Cursor is placed on the view that will be exchanged, by next device keys, keep down state then, cursor is moved on to by another optional position in two panes that exchange.The releasing arrangement button just exchanges two views.Fig. 8 Show End Result, VIEW2 appears in the big pane now, and VIEW1 appears in the lower-left pane of screen.
Though the pane that expression participates in exchanging on the figure is contiguous, this is not that the present invention is necessary.Two panes that participate in exchange can be separated fully by one or more panes between two parties each other.By the view that exchanged only by device keys begin to press time target position and subsequently device keys be released time target determining positions.
At once return with reference to figure 4, two additional controls 49 and 48 of view bar shown among the figure are not discussed in front.As noted, system can be embodied as, if the user removes cursor from the view bar zone, then view bar is hidden (disappearance) automatically.In some cases, perhaps the user does not wish that view bar disappears automatically.Control 49 is " contact pin (pin) " control, and is selected when it, view bar can be locked in visible state, and no matter the current location of cursor.In case view bar is locked in visible state,, just it can be hidden up to adopting some active operation that the contact pin control is resetted.The example of the active operation that is suitable for can be to click contact pin or the like once more.Control 48 is to separate control, when it is activated, selected view is disappeared (tear off) or removes from current pane, and put its own independent separator window into, and this window can be independent of other tiling pane and be moved.
Fig. 9 is at the screen construction of setting up tiling, and the process flow diagram of performed method step in the processing with each pane of view allocation in this structure.Initial step 50 in this processing is to generate the default demonstration of being made up of the thin pixel bars of single view with focus and the hiding view bar of expression.After generating default demonstration, in step 52, the position of system monitoring cursor.When detect view bar that cursor hiding above the time, in step 54, show/unhide view bar, and pane splitting control of system wait is selected.In case in step 56, it is selected to detect a pane splitting control,, set up the screen buffer of display for being in two different panes on the space of giving the focus pane at first.New pane is parallel arranged each other or is arranged above and below, and depends on that certainly which pane splitting control is selected.
In step 60, comprise one in the screen buffer of the data allocations to two in the view of current focus pane.Similarly, distribution depends on which pane splitting control is selected when setting up two new panes.System enters waiting status then, and during this period, it monitors cursor state and situation, and to determine whether having selected to open a view, this is opened view and is among the tabulation of the view that occurs in the view bar.Open view when selected in case detect one, in step 64, in second pane in Data Loading to the two new pane of creating of selecteed view in step 62.As previously mentioned,, move this process of how many times, consider voluntarily by system user fully in order to obtain to make the tiling structure of its satisfied display perform region.
Figure 10 is the process flow diagram of the step carried out when finishing view swap operation previously discussed.The initial step 70 of this processing is to determine whether pressed particular key or button when cursor is on the existing pane.In case detect key or button is pressed, system begins to monitor cursor state, with determine identical key or button whether cursor move on to another existing pane above after, then be released.Be presented at second pane when top if test 72, key discharged, then the data of two affected views of exchange expression between first and second panes.
