Hereinafter, for the sake of brevity, a slide type mobile terminal among a plurality of types of mobile terminals such as a folding type, a bar type, a swing type, a slide type mobile terminal, and the like will be described as an example. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to any type of mobile terminal, and is not limited to a slide type mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal 100 as shown in FIG. 1 may be configured to operate using a communication system such as a wired and wireless communication system and a satellite-based communication system that transmits data via frames or packets.

A communication system in which a mobile terminal is operable according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIG.

Such communication systems may use different air interfaces and/or physical layers. For example, air interfaces used by communication systems include, for example, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) (in particular, Long Term Evolution (LTE)). ), Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), etc. As a non-limiting example, the following description relates to a CDMA communication system, but such teachings are equally applicable to other types of systems.

Referring to FIG. 2, a CDMA wireless communication system can include a plurality of mobile terminals 100, a plurality of base stations (BS) 270, a base station controller (BSC) 275, and a mobile switching center (MSC) 280. The MSC 280 is configured to interface with a public switched telephone network (PSTN) 290. The MSC 280 is also configured to interface with a BSC 275 that can be coupled to the base station 270 via a backhaul line. The backhaul line can be constructed according to any of a number of known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, frames Relay, HDSL, ADSL or xDSL. It will be appreciated that the system as shown in FIG. 2 may include multiple BSC 2750s.

Each BS 270 can serve one or more partitions (or regions), each of which is covered by a multi-directional antenna or an antenna directed to a particular direction radially away from the BS 270. Alternatively, each partition may be covered by two or more antennas for diversity reception. Each BS 270 can be configured to support multiple frequency allocations, and each frequency allocation has a particular frequency spectrum (eg, 1.25 MHz, 5 MHz, etc.).

The intersection of partitioning and frequency allocation can be referred to as a CDMA channel. BS 270 may also be referred to as a Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS) or other equivalent terminology. In such a case, the term "base station" can be used to generally refer to a single BSC 275 and at least one BS 270. A base station can also be referred to as a "cell station." Alternatively, multiple partitions of a particular BS 270 may be referred to as multiple cellular stations.

As shown in FIG. 2, a broadcast transmitter (BT) 295 transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminal 100 operating within the system. A broadcast receiving module 111 as shown in FIG. 1 is provided at the mobile terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295. In Figure 2, several Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites 300 are shown. The satellite 300 helps locate at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals 100.

In Figure 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information can be obtained using any number of satellites. The GPS module 115 as shown in Figure 1 is typically configured to cooperate with the satellite 300 to obtain desired positioning information. Instead of GPS tracking technology or in addition to GPS tracking technology, other techniques that can track the location of the mobile terminal can be used. Additionally, at least one GPS satellite 300 can selectively or additionally process satellite DMB transmissions.

As a typical operation of the wireless communication system, the BS 270 receives a reverse link signal from the mobile terminal 100. Mobile terminal 100 typically participates in calls, messaging, and other types of communications. Each reverse link signal received by a particular base station 270 is processed within a particular BS 270. The obtained data is forwarded to the relevant BSC 275. The BSC provides call resource allocation and coordinated mobility management functions including a soft handoff procedure between the BSs 270. The BSC 275 also routes the received data to the MSC 280, which provides additional routing services for interfacing with the PSTN 290. Similarly, PSTN 290 interfaces with MSC 280, which forms an interface with BSC 275, and BSC 275 controls BS 270 accordingly to transmit forward link signals to mobile terminal 100.

Based on the above hardware structure of the mobile terminal and the communication system, an embodiment of the associated application split screen display device of the present invention is proposed.

The preset touch operation can be set as needed. For example, the touch and the edge of a certain area of the left border of the terminal can be set to slide downwards (as shown in FIG. 4, the left border is three points and the right border is a little. Touch and slide down on the right side). The relationship between the above applications refers to an application and its associated application set as needed. For example, if you want to open Netease News or Sohu News at the same time you open WeChat, you can set WeChat to have a relationship with NetEase News and Sohu News, and set the relationship to be saved in the system. In addition, the association relationship can be set in advance according to the needs, or can be calculated and saved as the association relationship between the recommended applications according to the daily usage of the application. When the detection confirmation module 10 detects that there is a preset touch operation on the edge of the screen, it confirms other applications associated with the current first application and opens the split screen display.
