Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform the multiplex display of pictures by displaying a window screen on part of a base screen, and displaying part of an original base screen on part of the window picture. CONSTITUTION:The base screen 1 is displayed on an electronic screen display device, and the window screen 2 is displayed on part of a displayed base picture by superimposing on the base screen 1, and a partial screen 3 at the hidden part of the base screen is displayed and superimposed on part of a superimposed and displayed window screen 2. In other words, this mechanism is the one by hardware or software capable of observing required data on the base screen 1 by the same operation as an ordinary window operation as against such case that no required data can be observed when the window screen 2 is displayed on the base screen 1.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Purpose of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for displaying electronic screens such as CRT displays, plasma displays, and liquid crystal displays, which are peripheral devices for electronic computers.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, there have been window displays such as multi-windows that display not only one screen but several screens.
There was an inconvenience that when a window screen was superimposed on the base screen, part or all of the base screen was hidden. Furthermore, when attempting to view data on the base screen, the user must go through the trouble of erasing the temporarily called window screen and calling the window screen again.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In order to solve this inconvenience, the present invention superimposes a window screen on a base screen, and then cuts out a part of the superimposed base screen while showing the window screen. The purpose is to provide an electronic screen display method for displaying images.

[Configuration of the invention]

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention displays a base screen on an electronic screen display device, displays a window screen overlappingly with the base screen on a part of the displayed base screen, and displays the window screen overlappingly with the base screen. This is an electronic screen display method that displays and superimposes a part of the hidden part of the base screen on a part of the displayed window screen.

[0006]

[Operation] When window display is performed on a computer display device, only the necessary portions of the portions hidden by the window are redisplayed.

[0007]

[Embodiment] The present invention displays a base screen 1 on an electronic screen display device, displays a window screen 2 overlapping the base screen 1 on a part of the displayed base screen 1, and displays this overlapping display. This is an electronic screen display method in which a partial screen 3 of the hidden part of the base screen is displayed and superimposed on a part of the hidden window screen 2. In the present invention, the base screen 1 as shown in FIG. To solve the inconvenience of not being able to see the necessary data when displaying window screen 2 as shown in Figure 2, we have developed hardware or software that allows you to view the necessary data on base screen 1 using operations similar to normal window operations. It is a mechanism. This situation is shown in FIG.

When the window screen 2 in FIG. 2 is displayed as a window on the base screen 1 in FIG.
The display will be as shown below. If you want to see the portion of the base screen 1 shown by the broken line in FIG. 1, you can display the screen as shown in FIG. 4 by performing an operation similar to a normal window operation.

The operator first calls up the base screen 1 shown in FIG. Therefore, when the window screen 2 of FIG. 2 is required, the window screen 2 of FIG. 2 is called up on the base screen of FIG. 1 in an arbitrary size as shown in FIG. Here, when the part indicated by the broken line in FIG. 1 becomes necessary for data input again, it is displayed as shown in FIG. 4.

As another embodiment of the present invention, the portion for displaying the base screen may not only be square or rectangular, but may also have a modified shape as shown in FIG.

[0011]

According to the present invention, multiple screens can be displayed.
