In the graphical user interface of the general operating system, whether it is reading text, watching a movie, browsing a web page, etc., there are often problems that cannot display only part of the display screen. For example, when a user uses a PDF reader to review a question that has been tested in the past, sometimes the user may want to cover the part of the answer to test the same question again. Since the PDF may not be able to delete part of the text, the user may It can only be blocked manually or by overlapping the windows to block the parts that need to be blocked.

However, although the user can manually mask the portion that needs to be occluded, when other operations are performed, once the hand leaves the display screen, the range that needs to be shielded appears, so that the shadowing effect cannot be continuously generated. In addition, the other windows are occluded, and the window size is often adjusted because of the different occlusion range. When the user needs to use the window, the window must be adjusted back to the original optimal size, which is also generated for the user. Many unnecessary repetitive operations are liable to cause inconvenience to the user.
