Description

Window management system

The present invention relates to a window system for a computer system, and more particularly to a window management system capable of integrating a plurality of software (program) window sizes.

The computer system displays a number of windows for the user to enter data, use data or enable the program. If more than one application is executed at the same time, many windows may be displayed on the computer display, and each window corresponds to an application. Any application can have multiple windows. For example, if a user enters text in a word processing program and also works in a spreadsheet program, two windows may be open on the display. One of the windows is the word processing application window, and the first window is the spreadsheet window. If the user additionally views the video on the media player application, there will be an additional window corresponding to the media player application. As the number of enabled applications increases, the number of windows displayed on the computer display also increases.

Users who use multiple applications at the same time often face many windows on the display, causing clutter on the desktop, causing confusion and disappointment with the messy display. For example, there are many overlapping windows on the display that allow the user to waste time searching for the desired window each time the user wants to complete work in different applications. To alleviate this problem, the user can minimize or completely exit the application to reduce clutter (and the number of windows on the display). However, if the window has been minimized, the user will no longer have immediate access to the corresponding application. If you need to take action within a specific application whose window has been minimized, the user must first find the desired window and open the desired window after finding the window. This process is quite time consuming. Similarly, if the user completely quits the application to clear the messy situation on the desktop, the application cannot be re-enabled. In this case, the user must restart the application to complete the desired work, which wastes more time. In addition, if the application performs an ongoing function, it will be lost while the application is not enabled.

Typically, when the application window is minimized, the taskbar button will appear on the taskbar, indicating that the application is currently enabled. Although the taskbar button indicates that the application is enabled, there is usually only the icon or name of the application in the taskbar button. Without additional information, the user must open the window to view the contents of the window. However, opening and closing the window is only to check the contents of the window (for example, to determine the subjectivity of the window), which wastes time and effort, resulting in loss of efficiency and productivity. This problem is exacerbated when the number of enabled applications and the number of windows increases, because the user must open and close the window to find the desired window.

In view of this, how to eliminate the above-mentioned deficiencies is the technical difficulty point that the creators of this case want to solve; however, the creators of this case are based on years of experience in relevant industries, and after many years of painstaking research, trial improvement, finally The successful completion of the case and the creation of this creation to enhance the efficacy.

In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a window management system, which includes: a computer host electrically connected to a keyboard and a screen, the computer host provides a management program, a first use And a second usage program, the management program, the first usage program and the second usage program respectively have a management window, a first window and a second window, the management window having a first to a ninth The virtual grid, the first to ninth virtual grids respectively correspond to the first to ninth numeric keys. The keyboard includes a first to a ninth number key, and the first to ninth number keys are arranged by 3 by 3, wherein the management program detects the screen size and displays the management window on the screen, so that the keyboard The size of the management window is equal to the size of the screen, and the hypervisor detects the first window and the second window to respectively correspond to the first number key and the second number key, respectively clicking the first number key and The second number key causes the first window and the second window to be respectively reduced and moved to the first virtual grid and the second virtual grid.

Referring to the first and second figures, the novel window management system 1 includes a computer host 10, a management program 20, and an input and output unit 30.

The computer host 10 runs at least one operating system (not shown) on the computer host 10, and the operating system can be a windows OS or a MAC OS, but is not limited thereto.

Referring to the second figure and the third figure, the operating system provides a running management program 20, a first usage program A and a second usage program B, the management program 20, the first usage program A and the second The application program B has a management window 21, a first window A1 and a second window B1. The management window 21 has a first to a ninth virtual grid 21a-21i (ie, a first virtual grid 21a, a second virtual a grid 21b, a third virtual grid 21c, a fourth virtual grid 21d, a fifth virtual grid 21e, a sixth virtual grid 21f, a seventh virtual grid 21g, an eighth virtual grid 21h, and a ninth virtual grid 21i), wherein the management window 21 is transparent to the first to ninth virtual cells 21a to 21i.

Referring to the first and fourth figures, the input and output unit 30 includes a keyboard 31 and a screen 32. The keyboard 31 and the screen 32 are electrically connected to the computer main body 10, and the keyboard 31 has a numeric key. The group 311 includes a first to a ninth numeric key 311a-311i (ie, a first numeric key 311a, a second numeric key 311b, a third numeric key 311c, a fourth numeric key 311d, a fifth numeric key 311e, The six-digit key 311f, the seventh numeric key 311g, the eighth numeric key 311h, and the ninth numeric key 311i), the first to ninth numeric keys 311a-311i are arranged in a 3 by 3 arrangement (that is, the current nine-square grid arrangement of the computer keyboard) the way). The management program 20 causes the positions of the first to ninth numeric keys 311a to 311i to correspond to the positions 21a to 21i of the first to ninth virtual cells, respectively.

The management program 20 detects the size of the screen 32, and displays the management window 21 on the screen 32 so that the size (length and width) of the management window 21 is equal to the screen size of the screen 32. The management program The first window A1 and the second window B1 are respectively detected to correspond to the first number key 31a and the second number key 31b, and the first number key 31a and the second number key 31b are respectively clicked. The first window A1 and the second window B1 are respectively reduced and moved into the first virtual grid 21a and the second virtual grid 21b.

By analogy, when the user starts more programs, such as the first program A to the ninth program (not shown), the screen 32 has the first window A2 to the ninth window (not shown). The first window A1 to the ninth window respectively correspond to the first to ninth numeric keys 311a to 311i, and the user respectively clicks the first to ninth numeric keys 311a to 311i to make the first window A1. The ninth window is reduced and moved to the first to ninth virtual cells 21a-21i, respectively.

Referring to the fourth figure, the keyboard 31 has a direction key group 312. The direction key group 312 includes a left button 312a, an up button 312b, a down button 312c and a right button 312d. The management program 20 links the direction. The key group 312 and the numeric key group 311, thereby clicking the left key 3112a and the up key 312b when the first window A1 or the second window B1 is located in the first virtual grid 21a or the second virtual grid 21b The down button 312c or the right button 312d extends the first window A1 or the second window B1 to the left, the top, the bottom or the right.

In other words, when the first window A1 is located in the first virtual grid 21a, the left key 3112a or the down key 312c is clicked. Since the first virtual grid 21a is located at the edge, after the management program 20 determines, the first window A1 is not performed. Any action.

The keyboard group 31 further includes an auxiliary key group 313 including a shift key 313a (ie, a SHIFT key), a control key 313b (ie, a CTRL key), and a change key 313c (ie, an ALT key). The 20 series is connected to the auxiliary key group 313, the direction key group 312 and the numeric key group 311. The auxiliary key group 313 further includes a cmd key, and the cmd key is a command key in the MAC computer, and is displayed in the keyboard of the window computer. Button with window icon.

When the first window A1 is located in the first virtual grid 21a, the up window 312b or the right arrow 312d is clicked to extend the first window A1 toward the fourth virtual grid 21d or the second virtual grid 21b, respectively, so that the first window is opened. The width of A1 is equal to the sum of the widths of the first virtual grid 21a and the fourth virtual grid 21d or the sum of the widths of the first virtual grid 21a and the second virtual grid 21b.

When the second window B1 is located in the second virtual grid 21b, the down key 312c is clicked, and since the second virtual grid 21b is located at the edge, the second window B1 does not perform any action after being judged by the management program 20.

When the second window B1 is located in the second virtual grid 21b, the left key 312a, the up key 312b or the right key 312d is clicked, so that the second window B1 faces the first virtual grid 21a, the fifth virtual grid 21e or the first The three virtual cells 21c are extended and enlarged such that the width of the second window B1 is equal to the sum of the widths of the first virtual grid 21a and the second virtual grid 21b, the sum of the widths of the second virtual grid 21b and the fifth virtual grid 21e, or the second virtual grid. The sum of the widths of 21b and the third virtual grid 21c.

In the above, when the width of the first window A1 or the second window B1 is equal to the sum of the widths of the first virtual grid 21a and the second virtual grid 21b, the first key is passed through the numeric key group and the up key 312b is clicked to make the first The window A1 or the second window B1 extends to the fourth virtual grid 21d and the fifth virtual grid 21e.

In other words, when the first window A1 or the second window B1 is located in the first virtual grid 21a and the second virtual grid 21b, the first window A1 or the second window B1 can be made through the operation of the auxiliary key group 313 and the direction key group 312. It extends in the direction of operation.

Referring to the fifth figure, the management program 20 sets the first to ninth virtual cells 21a to 21i with first to ninth threshold values 21a1 to 21i1, respectively. (Threshold var x=0.1).

When the first window A1 or the second window B1 is located at the first virtual grid 21a, and the other end of the first window A1 or the second window B1 is located at the second virtual grid 21b, the first threshold is used. 21a1 and the second threshold 21b1 are respectively judged with both ends of the first window A1 or the second window B1:

When the first window A1 or the second window B1 is greater than the first threshold 21a1, the first window A1 or the second window B1 is moved to the first virtual grid 21a;

When the other end of the first window A1 or the second window B1 is greater than the second threshold 21b1, the first window A1 or the second window B1 moves to the second virtual grid 21b.

The first to ninth threshold values 21a1 to 21i1 are respectively half of the widths of the first to ninth virtual cells 21a to 21i.

The advantage of this creation is an intuitive operation. The user can combine the numeric key group 311, the direction key group 312 and the auxiliary key group 313 according to the nine-square grid order of the numeric key group, corresponding to the first to ninth virtual grids, respectively. The zoom and position of each window is convenient for the user to remember and operate.
