Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling a
- Multi-screen system with at least two screens, each with a screen display area.
- this system toolbar is more or less fixed. It is displayed in a system window that is protected from being masked by other windows. Depending on your system or graphics card settings, this system tray window can be displayed on a single screen
- the first variant with the display of the system bar window on only one screen can lead to relatively long, for example, over several screens away extending control paths for the mouse pointer.
- the second variant with the simultaneous display of the system bar window displays redundant information on all screens, resulting in unfavorable utilization of the total display or work area available on all screens.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for controlling a multi-screen system of the above specify the type of activity that is efficient, flexible and adaptable.
- the method according to the invention is one in which a system tool bar for displaying control symbols, which are each associated with an application running on the multi-screen system, generated and before an over- or Cover protected by an application window on at least one of
- the system toolbar is freely configurable and displayed in at least two separate system sub-bar windows, each of which is arranged in the screen display area of another screen.
- the method according to the invention allows a very flexible adaptation of the representation of the system tool bar and, consequently, a significantly simplified and more flexible handling and control of the multi-screen system.
- the system tool bar which is still to be understood as a single logical unit, divided into several parts, in particular largely freely configurable and positionable, which are then displayed in the context of the separate system sub-windows.
- a single logical system toolbar may span across multiple screens as it is displayed, with the screens that display one of the system sub-bar windows not necessarily being juxtaposed.
- the division into the separate system sub-window and their assignment to the respective screens is independent of the graphics cards and display drivers used for the screens.
- control symbols contained in the respective system sub-bar window can be selected and placed, ie assigned to the respective display screen that compared with the previous solutions shorter mouse pointers and good utilization of the total screen or workspace available on the screens.
- the short operating paths are achieved in particular even without redundant display. The control method and the space utilization are therefore very efficient.
- the separate system sub-window windows are also protected from being covered or covered by other windows displayed on the screens.
- a comparison of window configuration data provided for the system sub-bar windows is carried out with system information data stored by an operating system of the multi-screen system.
- system information data stored by an operating system of the multi-screen system.
- each of the system sub-bar windows is constantly monitored and controlled by a bar management unit, ie, in particular, managed.
- a bar management unit ie, in particular, managed.
- the bar management unit also cooperates with an operating system of the multi-screen system.
- the system subwindow windows in particular also interact with the operating system.
- the operating system in interaction with the bar management unit also fulfills part of the monitoring and coordination function for the system sub-bar windows.
- the data management of the system information data which is coordinated by the operating system, is also guaranteed with regard to the system subwindow windows in their full and, above all, current scope.
- the interaction of the operating system, the bar management unit, and the system sub-bar windows allows for a quick and concerted response to events that may be caused during operation by a user action, for example.
- One possible such reaction is a change in position or other change in the display of the system sub-bar windows.
- each of the system sub-bar windows is freely positionable within a total display area formed by the screen display areas of all screens and, in particular, continuously monitors a window position of each of the system sub-bar windows within that total display area that is variable during operation of the multi-screen system.
- this monitoring is mainly carried out by the bar management unit, wherein the operating system can also take over part of the overgrowing tasks.
- the lateral edge positions of each of the screen display areas are particularly preferred. Suitable locations for positioning the system sub-window. This leaves large contiguous areas for displaying application windows.
- the flexible positioning of the system sub-window for example by means of the common drag-and-drop function, increases the flexibility.
- the operating system of the multi-screen system is informed within which of the screen display areas each of the system sub-pane windows is displayed.
- the operating system learns on which screen the respective system sub-bar window is displayed, or which screen it is assigned.
- this message automatically suspends the system subwindow window after it has been generated.
- the operating system can thus register the system sub-bar window and also associate it with a particular screen or screen display area, thus making this information available to other applications as part of the system information data.
- the operating system in the context of a further advantageous embodiment of the positions and in particular changes in position of the system sub-bar window informed. This is done in particular continuously. This position information also makes the operating system available to other applications as part of the system update data (bank).
- an assignment of the control symbols to the system sub-bar windows and symbol positions of the control symbols are detected and monitored within the respectively currently assigned system sub-bar windows.
- the assignment to a system sub-window and the positioning within a system sub-window can also be changed during operation, for example by a drag-and-drop action.
- a change in size or position of an application window which leads to a complete coverage of the application window by at least one of the system sub-window or by another always in the foreground standing, that is protected by another window, detected and reversed.
- Such full coverage of the application window may not be easily undone by the user of the multi-screen system.
- the disappearance of the application window is not immediately noticeable and the user has no reason to initiate targeted restoration measures.
- an automatic recognition of the inter-section and a likewise automatic restoration of the previous state are provided.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 exemplary embodiments of multi-screen systems 1 and 2 with three screens 3 to 5 and 6 to 8 are shown.
- the illustrations are greatly simplified and schematized. Only one screen display area 9 of the respective screens 3 to 8 is shown.
- the multi-screen systems 1 and 2 also include other not shown components, in particular at least one computing and control unit in the form of a computer. Likewise, the number of three screens 3 to 5 and 6 to 8 is not meant to be limiting. In principle, other multi-screen systems with any other screen number greater than two are also conceivable.
- a two-part system tool bar 10 or 11 is provided in each of the exemplary embodiments.
- the system toolbars 10 and 11 are each a single logical unit that is merely partitioned and distributed over a plurality of screens - two each in the embodiments is shown.
- two system sub-window 12 and 13 are provided in the multi-screen system 1, which are displayed on the right and middle screen 3 and 4 respectively.
- the multi-screen system 2 has two system sub-bar windows 14 and 15, which are displayed on the right and left screens 6 and 8, respectively.
- system sub-toolbar windows 12 and 13 or 14 and 15 assigned to a system toolbar 10 or 11 are largely freely configurable.
- the configuration can be very flexibly adapted to the respective graphics card, the respective driver and the currently set resolution of the relevant screen. In this case, application-dependent requirements varying from screen to screen can also be taken into account.
- system sub-bar windows 12 and 13, and 14 and 15 are therefore configured differently.
- the left system sub-window 14 is two-line and the right system sub-window 15 is executed in a single line.
- the positions within the respective screen display area 9 may differ from each other.
- the Systemteilleistentant 12 to 15 are freely positioned, the positions during the • ongoing operation of the multi-screen systems 1 and 2 can be changed by means of a drag and drop action.
- window positions located at one of the four side edges of the respective screen display area 9 are particularly suitable.
- the system sub-window windows 12 to 15 are particularly secure windows, which are protected from being covered or covered by other windows, for example by applicators. windows of applications running on multi-screen systems 1 and 2 are protected.
- the system tool strips 10 and 11 provided for control and handling are thus always accessible.
- the system toolbars 10 and 11 each include a plurality of control icons 16 located within the rows in the system sub-bar windows 12-15.
- the control symbols 16 are each associated with an application running on the multi-screen system 1 or 2. They allow you to start and operate these assigned applications.
- the control symbols 16 can be positioned freely within the respectively associated system sub-window 12 to 15, wherein the positions can also be changed during operation, for example by means of a drag-and-drop action. Likewise, it is possible to move from one of the system sub-window segments 12 and 13 or 14 and 15 to another.
- one of the control symbols 16 placed within the system sub-bar windows 12 to 15 may be e.g. detected with a mouse pointer and moved to any destination on any of the screens 3 to 5 or 6 to 8, wherein at the target location the control icon 16 associated application is started or opened and can be operated there.
- the window unit 17 interacts with an operating system 18 of the multi-screen system 1 or 2 and a system information database 19 managed by the operating system 18.
- the system information database 19 contains system information data. It includes several sub-databases, namely u.a. a screen information database 20 and a system toolbox database 21.
- the screen information database 20 contains all relevant information about the connected and active
- Screens 3 to 5 or 6 to 8 of the multi-screen systems 1 and 2 stored.
- the system tool bar database 21 contains the relevant information about the currently current system tool bar, that is u.a. after their generation and initial registration with the operating system also to the system toolbars 10 and 11.
- this sub-database 21 are also the important configuration data of the system toolbars, such as the size, position and distribution on different screens stored.
- the window unit 17 comprises as subcomponents, for example in the form of separate program modules or databases. 12 to 15, a last window configuration database 22, a bar management unit 23 and a bar generating unit 24.
- the key component thereof is the bar management unit 23. It co-ordinates and manages, together with the operating system 18, all operations associated with the system sub-bar windows 12 through 15, from their creation, through their change in position or size, to their termination.
- the bar management unit 23 reads from the bar window configuration database 22 all the desired configuration parameters of newly created system partial bar windows 12 to 15, which are intended to represent the system toolbar 10 or 11, respectively. Subsequently, it instructs the bar generating unit 24 with the creation of these system sub-bar windows 12 to 15, whereupon the bar-generating unit 24 first performs a comparison of the desired configuration parameters with the information currently stored in the system information database 19. If no inconsistencies, such as mismatched screen counts, are detected, the bar generating unit 24 generates the system tray windows 12 through 15 with the desired configuration parameters.
- system sub-bar windows 12 to 15 themselves log on to the operating system 18, wherein they also communicate all relevant window configuration parameters so that they can be stored by the operating system 18 in the system tool bar database 21.
- the operating system 18 registers the newly created system sub-window 12 to 15 and causes a corresponding update of the system tool bar database 21.
- bar management unit 23 manages all system sub-bar windows 12 to 15. For this purpose, in the bar management unit 23 important window configuration parameters of the system sub-bar windows 12 to 15, such as their position and size stored. Basically, these data could also be extracted from the system Tool board database 21 procured. However, the parallel data storage in the bar management unit 23 offers speed advantages if a rapid response to an event occurring during operation is required.
- the bar management unit 23 communicates constantly with the operating system 18. In particular, information about events of importance for the management of the system partition bar windows 12 to 15 is sent and received from both sides, that is, exchanged alternately. In this way, changes in the positioning, size or other window configuration parameters that have been caused by the user of the multi-screen system 1 or 2 by a drag and drop action with the mouse pointer, can be implemented very quickly and taking into account the existing remaining constellation.
- the bar management unit 23 recognizes in particular also impending collisions, which may result from an intentional common use of the same subarea in the screen display area 9, so that a coverage-free display of the affected system sub-bar windows 12 to 15 would be impossible.
- This collision situation solves the bar management unit 23 by e.g. new unproblematic coordinates are determined and assigned to the affected system subwindow windows 12 to 15.
- the operating system 18 is also informed about this. It causes a storage of the new position or size data.
