Detailed ways

The present invention provides a multi-window display method and a touch terminal. In order to make the purpose, technical solution and effect of the present invention more clear and definite, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a flow chart of the multi-window display method of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the multi-window display method of the present invention includes:

S100. When multiple windows are opened, display each window in a stacked manner according to a preset method;

S200. Detect the perspective area selected by the user, and display the content of the corresponding lower window corresponding to the perspective area in the perspective area.

In this embodiment, there can be one or more perspective areas selected by the user, and the size and position of the perspective areas can also be customized by the user, and the content displayed in different positions of different lower windows can be browsed on the same window.

The multi-window display method provided by the present invention can frame a perspective area or multiple perspective areas on the current window, and display the content of the corresponding perspective area of the corresponding lower window in the perspective area, realizing simultaneous viewing of different windows on the current interface Text, pictures, videos, etc. in different positions are easy to operate and improve user experience.

Taking a smart phone as an example, the perspective area selected by the user may be a default marquee of the smart phone, such as a rectangular frame, a circular frame, an elliptical frame, and the like. If the user selects a rectangular frame, the perspective area can be set according to the size of the rectangular frame selected by the user's finger on the screen. The size of the perspective area is the size that can display the content of the lower window. In order to improve the convenience of operation, the user can also directly draw a closed curve on the screen cloth, and the area surrounded by the closed curve is the perspective area.

Since the user cannot see the content of the lower window when selecting a frame, it is likely that the area selected by the user is not the area that the user most wants to browse. In a preferred embodiment, the user can also move the perspective area to locate the position that needs to be browsed . Therefore, the multi-window display method of the present invention further includes: when moving the see-through area, locating the content displayed in the see-through area according to the moving position of the see-through area.

In other embodiments, the user can also slide the screen in the see-through area, that is, fix the position of the see-through area and move the interface of the lower window to locate the content displayed in the see-through area of the lower window.

Since there may be more than two windows opened by the user, the step S100 specifically includes: when multiple windows are opened, displaying each window in a stacked manner according to the opening order of each window. When stacking windows, the windows can be stacked from bottom to top according to the opening order of each window, that is, the last opened window is placed on the top layer, and the first opened window is placed on the bottom layer, so that users can browse the last window. open window. Of course, the present invention can also place the first opened window on the uppermost layer, and place the last opened window on the lowermost layer, which is not limited by the present invention.

Wherein, the windows opened by the user include the pages of each webpage when opening the webpage, and the user interface of each application when opening each application. When the user opens multiple interfaces and webpages at the same time, the present invention also displays the windows of each application in sequence. For example, after the user opens a webpage, and then opens the SMS application for text editing, the window corresponding to the SMS application can be superimposed on the webpage.

Since the windows of some web pages or some applications are generally larger than the user interface, users can only browse other areas of the web page by sliding the screen when they need to browse different areas of the web page. In order to facilitate users to watch the content of different areas of the web page at the same time, The step S100 specifically includes: dividing the window into multiple sub-windows according to the size of the user interface, and stacking and displaying each sub-window in a preset stacking manner. The preset stacking method includes dividing the window into multiple sub-windows according to the size of the user interface from left to right and from top to bottom, and then sorting them from left to right and from top to bottom. For example, if the window of a web page is twice as wide and twice as long as the user interface, the window can be divided into 6 sub-windows according to the user interface from left to right and from top to bottom, and then divided into 6 sub-windows according to the left to right and top to bottom These 6 sub-windows are superimposed downwards, so that the uppermost sub-window on the left side is on the uppermost layer, and the lowermost sub-window on the right side is on the lowermost layer, forming stacked windows according to the user's browsing habits. When browsing, the user can perspectively select the lower window in the current window (that is, the uppermost sub-window on the left), and browse at the same time. It should be noted that when splitting the sub-window, if the splitting interface is located in the middle of the webpage layout, the preferred splitting method in this embodiment is to split according to the webpage layout, so as to maintain the integrity of the webpage layout.

In order to facilitate the user to select the lower layer window that needs to be browsed, in an embodiment of the present invention, the step S200 specifically includes: detecting the perspective area selected by the user, and generating corresponding mark; afterward, when the mark is triggered, display the contents of the perspective area corresponding to the window associated with the mark in the perspective area.

Wherein, the marks can be numbers (such as 1, 2, 3, ...), letters (such as a, b, c, ... or), dots (such as the number of dots to indicate the stacking order of the customer port ), graphics, etc. For example, when numbers are used, the number 1 indicates that the number is associated with the first-level window, the number 2 indicates the second-level window associated with the number, ..., and so on. When the user selects the number 1, it means that it is opaque to the lower window. When the user selects the number 2, the uppermost window (that is, the first layer window) is transparent in the perspective area, and the second layer window (that is, the next layer window) is displayed in the perspective area. ), when the user selects the number 3, the first layer window and the second layer window are made transparent in the perspective area, the third layer window is displayed in the perspective area, ..., and so on.

In this embodiment, when the user frames the perspective area, the mark can be displayed on the edge of the see-through area (as shown in FIG. 3 ). In order not to affect the browsing of the current window, the mark can be set to a translucent state.

In order to provide more convenient operation, in another embodiment of the present invention, the step S200 specifically includes: detecting the perspective area selected by the user, and the number of clicks in the perspective area; The number of clicks displays the corresponding content of the corresponding lower window in the perspective area.

In order to prevent false triggering, this embodiment has certain requirements on the time the user clicks on the screen. For example, the user can indicate that the user has clicked the screen by long pressing the screen (the time of pressing the screen generally exceeds 2 seconds). If the user presses and holds once in the see-through area, the content corresponding to the next layer of windows in the see-through area can be transparently displayed in the see-through area; long press again, the content corresponding to the see-through area of the next two layers of windows can be transparently displayed in the see-through area,… , and so on. Moreover, when the user clicks on the screen, he can also press and hold on other positions of the screen, which is not limited in the present invention.

Also taking the smart phone as an example, the multi-window display function of the present invention can be enabled through the setting function of the smart phone. During setting, the operation mode of the frame-selected perspective area can be set, and the operation mode of selecting the perspective to the corresponding lower window can be set. Among them, the methods of frame-selecting the perspective area include: the geometric frame (such as rectangular frame, circular frame, etc.) that comes with the mobile phone system, and a custom frame. When the user selects the custom frame, the user only needs to draw a closed area on the touch screen with a finger to form a perspective area. When the user selects the lower window to be displayed in perspective: he can select the associated window by marking, or click the screen to select; if the user chooses the marking method, it will further provide whether it is marked by numbers, letters, or dots. If the user selects the method of tapping the screen, the time for tapping the screen can be further set to distinguish it from other touch operations.

Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic diagram of an application embodiment of the multi-window display method of the present invention. This embodiment takes opening a webpage on a mobile phone as an example to illustrate the multi-window display method of the present invention:

After the user opens multiple webpages, the last webpage browsed is placed on the top layer, as shown in (a) in Figure 2, and the user draws a rectangular frame on the screen of the mobile phone, as shown in (b) in Figure 2. The rectangular frame is used as the area where the lower window can be seen through, and is directly displayed in a transparent state, as shown in (b) in Figure 2 (the top-level web page can be seen in this area at this time), and then see through according to the number of times the user clicks the screen The content corresponding to the lower window in this area. For example, after the user clicks the screen twice, the screen shown in (c) in Figure 2 appears on the screen of the mobile phone, and the content of the lower two-level windows in the area is displayed in the area selected by the user, realizing the simultaneous browsing of two windows in one window. Contents of different windows. Of course, in this embodiment, the see-through area is filled before the see-through, and the user clicks once on the screen to see through to the uppermost window, and clicks twice to see through to the lower-level window, ..., and so on.

Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a schematic diagram of another application embodiment of the multi-window display method of the present invention. This embodiment takes opening a browser application and a text editing application on a mobile phone as an example to illustrate the multi-window display method of the present invention:

The specific operation is: the user can first open the browser application, then open the text editing application, and put the opened text editing application on the top layer, as shown in (a) in Figure 3, and use the finger to draw a rectangle at the bottom of the mobile phone screen The box can be filled (that is, opaque) before perspective, as shown in (b) of Figure 3; of course, it can also be directly displayed as a transparent state (at this time, the blank area below the text edit can be seen in this area). Then the user touches the mark "2" located near the perspective area, and the interface shown in (c) in Figure 3 can be displayed at this time, enabling the user to quote a piece of content on the web page in the blank area of the text editing application window, so that the user can The desired text is extracted in a timely manner, that is, the content of multiple applications can be browsed in one application at the same time.

In a further embodiment, the step S200 further includes: providing an editing function in the perspective area according to the properties of the window. Wherein, the editing function includes: copy, cut, paste, edit and so on. For example, when the lower window displayed in the perspective area is a webpage, the webpage displayed in perspective can be copied in the perspective area; In this perspective area, operations such as copying, cutting, pasting, and editing can be performed on the lower windows displayed in perspective. In the application example shown in Figure 3, the lower window displayed in perspective is a web page, and the upper window is a text editing window. The user can copy the content of the lower web page in the perspective area, and then paste it into the upper text editing window.
