Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a multi-window display control device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the improvement in performance and sophistication of workstations and personal computers, application software utilizing multi-window display has been increasing. The number of windows displayed at the same time increases, and an environment is desired in which necessary windows can be easily identified from among those windows and can be easily operated. Conventionally, the window is identified by the window name or application name added by the application. Further, as a method of identifying a window called a virtual terminal (terminal emulator) among windows, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 04-323752
It is shown in the publication.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram of a conventional virtual terminal identification method. 901 is a virtual terminal function use determination means, 902 is a virtual terminal window recognition means, and 903 is a virtual terminal window identification means by color. is there. The operation of the conventional virtual terminal window identification method configured as described above will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, the virtual terminal function use determining means 901.
Determines whether the terminal is currently using the virtual terminal function. The function of the virtual terminal is a function of emulating another terminal. The virtual terminal function use determination means 901 recognizes which window uses the virtual terminal function by the virtual terminal window recognition means 902, and sends the window information to the virtual terminal window identification means 903 by color. Then, the virtual terminal window identification means 903 based on the color changes and displays the window frame of the window using the virtual terminal function based on the window information sent from the virtual terminal window recognition means 902.

As described above, the virtual terminal window can be judged at a glance by changing the color of the window frame of the virtual terminal window, and the object is to improve operability and prevent erroneous operation.

[0006]

However, the window identification method as described above can only identify that the window is using the virtual terminal function as its name suggests. For example, it is used. If all or most of the windows are virtual terminals, identifying the virtual terminal has little effect. Furthermore, windows other than the virtual terminal window cannot be distinguished from each other. Further, in the window to which the application name is added, if there is the same application or the like, sufficient identification is impossible. Also, I couldn't find the window I needed.

In view of the above points, the present invention has an object of facilitating the identification of windows and further improving the operability in a multi-window environment.
