Description

Work platform system, operation method and host device

The present invention relates to a method of operation, and more particularly to a method of providing a plurality of virtual job platforms.

In the early days, the services provided by the portal were simply search for information or websites. That is to say, when the user types a keyword on the portal, the portal lists the keyword-compliant data or the website list for the user to view. With the development of the Internet technology and the popularity of e-commerce, the services of the portal are not limited to retrieval. For the current portal, its services include life information collection, email, community services, e-commerce, multimedia entertainment, and personalized services.

With the evolution of technology, cloud technology has become an important technology in the next century. Any data, application, or even operating system can be stored in the cloud server. Users can use the computer that can connect to the Internet to perform work on traditional stand-alone computers, such as word processing or online games, in the working environment provided by the cloud. As a result, the portal has slowly evolved towards the direction of the book industry system.

In the case of a conventional portal, when the user clicks on one of the services, such as an auction service, the portal system switches the main page of the portal to the auction page. In this auction page, there are many auction items, such as 3C merchandise, computer peripherals, clothes, lifestyle goods, and so on. At this point, the user needs to continue to click on the option to purchase to find the desired item. However, in the conventional operation, each time a user clicks on a different item, a new window needs to be opened. Every time you open a new window, it takes a while to open. If the network traffic is too large, or if the network bandwidth used is insufficient, if the user needs to select a more detailed service, it will waste a lot of time to open the webpage.

The present invention provides a work platform system and a work method that allow a user to quickly and accurately find the required data and operations.

In addition, the present invention also provides an operating system that can be installed in a host device and that provides a user with a quick, convenient, and precise operating interface.

The present invention further provides a host device that allows the user to conveniently operate.

The invention provides a work platform system adapted to be connected to a host device and includes a platform tool, a detection tool, a collection tool and a display tool. The platform tool provides a plurality of operating platforms, and one of the operating platforms is transmitted to the host device according to the user's operation for display on the screen of the host device. Wherein, the working platforms respectively have a plurality of objects, and the objects comprise a plurality of connecting objects, and each of the connecting objects respectively corresponds to one of the working platforms. When the detecting tool detects that one of the linked objects is pointed by the indicator on the currently displayed work platform, and a skip display operation is performed by the user, the collecting tool is notified to collect the linked object to be pointed Corresponding information about the objects contained on the work platform. In addition, the display tool displays a skip display window on the currently displayed work platform when the skip display operation is performed, which displays at least part of the object on the work platform corresponding to the linked object to be pointed.

From another point of view, the present invention also provides a host device including a screen and a work platform system. Among them, the work platform system provides multiple work platforms, and one of these work platforms is displayed on the screen in response to a user's operation. Each of the work platforms has a plurality of articles, and the articles include a plurality of connected articles. Each of the connected objects respectively corresponds to one of the working platforms. When a user selects one of the linked objects to perform a skip display operation, the work platform system displays a skip display window on the screen of the currently displayed work platform, and the display is selected to perform a skip display operation. The object on the work platform corresponding to the connected object is at least partially.

From another point of view, the present invention further provides a working method, which can provide a plurality of virtual work platforms, and each virtual work platform has a plurality of objects, wherein the objects include a plurality of connected objects, and each connected object respectively Corresponding to one of the virtual job platforms. When one of the linked objects on the currently displayed virtual work platform is selected for a skip display operation, a skip display window is displayed on the currently displayed virtual work platform, and the display is selected for skip display. The object on the virtual work platform corresponding to the connected object of the operation is at least partially.

From another point of view, the present invention further provides a work platform system that can be installed in a host device. The work platform system can display one of the plurality of work platforms on the screen of the host device according to the operation of a user, wherein each work platform has a plurality of objects, and the objects include a plurality of connected objects, respectively corresponding to The above operating platform. When one of the connected objects on the currently displayed work platform is selected for a skip display operation, a skip display window is displayed on the work platform screen currently displayed on the screen of the host device, and the display is selected. The object on the work platform corresponding to the linked object of the jump display operation is at least partially.

In one embodiment, the method of operation provided by the present invention also sets the background color of the skip display window to a predetermined transparency to reveal an area located below the skip display window.

In addition, the method of operation of the present invention also gives a control to the currently displayed work platform so that when the skip display window is displayed, the work platform located below the skip display window can still be operated by the user.

Since the present invention can display a jump display operation when the linked object is pointed and when the skip display operation is performed, the object information on the corresponding work platform is displayed in advance. Therefore, the present invention can save the user time to open the webpage and find the required information more quickly.

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more <RTIgt;

Before starting the following description, the term "lower layer" is defined here. In the following description, when it is said that the B object is in the "lower layer" of the A object, one side means that the display level of the A object is higher than that of the B object. In other words, when the A object overlaps with a partial area of the B object, the A object shields the area of the B object. The other side refers to the level of control, that is to say, the control level of the A object is higher than that of the B object.
