The solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a display control method, as shown in FIG. 1 , including:

S01: In response to a first operation on the first window, determine the relative position of the first window and the second window when the first operation ends;

S02: Splicing the first window and the second window according to the relative positions of the first window and the second window at the end of the first operation.

Specifically, the splicing methods during splicing include internal splicing and external splicing. The display control method in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to a terminal, such as an Android system terminal or an Apple system terminal, and the terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet, computer or TV. The first window and the second window are windows opened by any application. For example, the first window may be a window opened by a browser, and the second window may be a window opened by a video application. The first operation may be a moving operation. Taking the touch terminal using the control method in this embodiment as an example, the first operation may be a drag operation performed after pressing and holding the first application window. Taking the user dragging the first window as an example, the relative position between the first window and the second window will change while the first window is being dragged. The relative positions of the two windows determine how to splicing the first window and the second window. The splicing method includes internal and external splicing. The external splicing means that the first window and the second window do not overlap after splicing. and the second window are connected to each other along parallel sides. Internal splicing means that the first window and the second window overlap after splicing. For example, internal splicing includes displaying as picture-in-picture. After splicing, the unified operation of the spliced windows can be realized. For example, the spliced window can be directly dragged to move, so that it is not necessary to drag the first window and the second window separately.

In the prior art, the process of splicing windows or displaying them as picture-in-picture is cumbersome. In this embodiment, the relative positions of the first window and the second window are adjusted to realize the inner splicing and outer splicing of the windows. Compared with the prior art , at least it can reduce the operation steps of the user and improve the user experience.

In some optional embodiments, splicing the first window and the second window according to the relative positions of the first window and the second window, including:

If the relative position of the first window and the second window at the end of the first operation satisfies the first condition, the first window and the second window are externally spliced; if the relative position of the first window and the second window at the end of the first operation If the second condition is satisfied, internal splicing is performed on the first window and the second window. The first condition and the second condition are preset conditions, which are used to determine whether to perform external splicing or internal splicing on the first window and the second window. The second window is stitched.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, if the relative positions of the first window and the second window satisfy the first condition at the end of the first operation, the external splicing of the first window and the second window includes:

If the distance between the first edge of the first window and the second edge of the second window is less than the distance threshold when the first operation ends, externally splicing the first window and the second window;

In this embodiment, the first edge is any edge of the first window, and the second edge is any edge of the second window. Optionally, the first edge and the second edge are parallel to each other and have opposite orientations, and the orientation of the edge refers to the direction in which the edge is away from the display area of the window where the edge is located. For example, please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2(a) schematically shows the relative positions of the first window and the second window before the first operation is performed. When the user performs the first operation, the position of the first window is moved to make the first window When the window is close to the second window, as shown in Figure 2(b), the first edge on the right side of the first window and the second edge on the left side of the second window are close to each other. If the user stops performing the first operation, the first edge and the If the distance of the second edge is smaller than the distance threshold, the first window and the second window will be automatically spliced externally as shown in Figure 2(c). Optionally, when the first window and the second window are externally spliced, the first edge and the second edge are abutted. Optionally, after the first window and the second window are spliced, the first window and the second window do not block each other.

If at the end of the first operation, the first window and the second window overlap, and the overlapping area of the first window and the second window is smaller than the area threshold, then the first window and the Two windows for external splicing.

In this embodiment, when the first window and the second window overlap, it indicates that the user wants to control the first window and the second window, and when the overlapping area of the two is smaller than the area threshold, it indicates that the user wants to control the two windows. External stitching. Generally speaking, the purpose of the user's splicing is to display the first window and the second window side by side, and when the overlapping area of the first window and the second window is greater than the area threshold, it means that the user probably does not want the first window and the second window. The window and the second window are displayed side by side, so in this embodiment, the first window and the second window are not spliced at this time, but spliced when the overlapping area is smaller than the area threshold. In this embodiment, the area threshold is used as the criterion for determining the first condition, thereby preventing false control.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, if the relative positions of the first window and the second window satisfy the second condition at the end of the first operation, performing internal splicing on the first window and the second window, including: if When the first operation ends, the overlapping area between the first window and the second window is greater than or equal to the area threshold, and the first window is displayed as a picture-in-picture of the second window.

The following example illustrates the process of this embodiment. Please refer to FIG. 3. Before performing the first operation, the positions of the first window and the second window may be as shown in FIG. 3(a). The user performs the first operation on the first window. Taking the first operation as a drag operation as an example, as shown in Figure 3(b), the dragged first window overlaps with the second window. If the overlapping area of the first window and the second window reaches the area threshold, then As shown in FIG. 3( c ), at this time, the first window is displayed as a picture-in-picture of the second window. Optionally, in the process of displaying the first window as a picture-in-picture of the second window, the second window may be enlarged to make the second window fit the size of the currently displayed screen, or the second window may be enlarged according to the size of the second window. The size of the first window as the picture-in-picture is adjusted so that the ratio of the area of the first window as the picture-in-picture to the area of the second window is a preset ratio. Optionally, when the first window is displayed as a picture-in-picture of the second window, the display position of the picture-in-picture can be determined according to the position of the first window in the second window when the first operation ends. The second window is divided into multiple areas (for example, the second window is divided into four areas with a central cross), at the end of the first operation, the area with the largest overlapping area with the first window is used as the target display area, and the first window is used as the drawing area. The medium picture is displayed in the target display area.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the control method of the present disclosure further includes: in response to a second operation on the first window displayed as a picture-in-picture, expanding the first window and displaying the second window as a picture of the first window Chinese painting. In this embodiment, after the first window is displayed as a picture-in-picture, the second window can be displayed as a picture-in-picture of the first window by performing a second operation on the first window, that is, the first window is displayed from the picture-in-picture of the first window. The foreground becomes the background, and the second window changes from the picture-in-picture background to the foreground.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the size of the first window after responding to the second operation is the same as the size of the second window before responding to the second operation; in some embodiments of the present disclosure, after responding to the second operation The size of the second window is the same as the size of the first window before responding to the second operation. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the position of the first window after responding to the second operation is the same as the position of the second window before responding to the second operation; in some embodiments of the present disclosure, in response to the second operation The position of the rear second window is the same as the position of the first window before responding to the second operation.

Specifically, after responding to the second operation, the first window will change from the foreground of the picture-in-picture to the background of the picture-in-picture, and the second window will change from the background of the picture-in-picture to the foreground after the second operation. The size and position of the foreground and background of the medium picture are the sizes that the user has used before. Therefore, keeping the size and position of the foreground and background unchanged can best meet the needs of the user and can reduce the user's operations.

In order to better illustrate the effects of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following description is made with reference to FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 4(a), the first window is a picture-in-picture of the second window, and at this time, the second window is executed on the first window. Operation, such as clicking or pressing the first window, as shown in Figure 4(b), the second window is used as the picture-in-picture of the first window, and the first window and the second window can be directly interacted during this process. location and size.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, enlarging the first window and displaying the second window as a picture-in-picture of the first window includes: reducing the height value of the first window in the z-axis direction of the screen and/or increasing the The height value of the second window in the z-axis direction of the screen, so that the height value of the second window in the z-axis direction of the screen is greater than the height value of the first window in the z-axis direction of the screen. Specifically, in the terminal, the z-axis of the screen is perpendicular to the screen and faces the outside of the screen. Different application windows may have different height values, and application windows with different heights are displayed on different layers. When the windows are spliced, the two can be displayed on the same layer, so the height values of the two can be kept the same, but when the first window and the second window overlap, the two need to be displayed on different layers, so the height values of the two The needs are different. The window with a large height value will be located above the window with a small height value. Therefore, the height value of the foreground of the picture-in-picture needs to be greater than the height value of the background. When the first window is displayed as the picture-in-picture of the second window, The height value of the first window is greater than that of the second window, and when the second window needs to be displayed as a picture-in-picture of the first window, that is, when the second window needs to be displayed above the first window, the height of the first window needs to be reduced value and/or increase the height value of the second window. Optionally, reducing the height value of the first window in the z-axis direction of the screen and/or increasing the height value of the second window in the z-axis direction of the screen includes: swapping the first window and the second window in the z-axis direction of the screen. The height value of the first window in the z-axis direction of the screen after the second operation is equal to the height value of the second window in the z-axis direction of the screen before the second operation. After the second operation, the height value of the second window in the z-axis direction of the screen The height value of is equal to the height value of the first window in the z-axis direction of the screen before the second operation.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the aspect ratio of the first window and/or the second window remains unchanged before and after splicing. Specifically, keeping the aspect ratio unchanged before and after splicing can prevent the distortion of the picture and prevent the user experience from being degraded.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the splicing method is external splicing, the total length of the spliced first window and the spliced second window in the splicing direction is equal to the splicing of the screen display area. length in the direction.

By automatically adjusting the length in the splicing direction after splicing, The display area of the spliced first window and the second window is made to fill the display area of the screen as much as possible, thereby improving the user experience.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the splicing method is internal splicing, a window with a larger area among the spliced first window and the spliced second window is displayed in full screen. Specifically, after the first window and the second window are internally spliced, assuming that the first window is displayed as a picture-in-picture of the second window as shown in Figure 4(a), the second window is displayed in full screen, thereby reducing the number of One window occupies the area of the second window, and increasing the display area improves the display effect. Similarly, when the second window is displayed as a picture-in-picture of the first window as shown in FIG. 4(b), the first window is displayed in full screen.

In some optional embodiments, the second window is a picture-in-picture window. When the first window and the second window are spliced together and the splicing method is internal splicing, if the first window is displayed as the picture-in-picture of the second window picture-in-picture, the first window and the picture-in-picture window originally possessed by the second window do not overlap each other.
