Problems solved by technology

The user performs different tasks on different display devices. When the user completes the current operation on the display device 120 and wants to exit the system, he must move the mouse cursor to the main display device 110 to activate the system. The routine "shut down the system" is a major inconvenience
Similarly, if a window is shrunk on the secondary display and wants to re-enlarge the window, the cursor must be moved to the control bar on the main display 110 to find the reduced window, so it is very inconvenient
[0010] Another inconvenience is exactly, the window that adopts the Chinese character pinyin input of Microsoft standard can only be displayed on the main display device 110, cause the operator when inputting Chinese characters on the secondary display device 120, must look at two screens simultaneously, in the secondary display device 120, must look at two screens simultaneously. View the input text on the screen of the display device 120, then select the correct text on the screen of the main display device 110, and check the correctness of the text content on the screen of the secondary display device 120, the operation is relatively inconvenient and time-consuming

example 1

[0071] Example 1 consists of a notebook computer and an external monitor connected to the VGA interface of the notebook computer.

[0072] The system defaults that the laptop is the main display device, which is responsible for displaying POST information; the external monitor is the secondary display device. Under the operating system, users play CDs under the primary display device, edit WORD documents on the secondary display device, and make work reports.

[0073] When the user enables the multi-control bar function in the multi-monitor mode, the control bar will appear on the display screen of the notebook computer and the external display screen at the same time. The user edits text on the external display, and wants to exit the system after the work is over. At this time, the user can directly close the media player on the current display, and exit the system or directly enter the sleep mode without moving the mouse. Go back to the main display for related operations. ...

example 2

[0077] Example 2 consists of a microcomputer connected with a graphics card supporting multiple display modes and 4 display devices.

[0078] By default, the system selects the device connected to the graphics card output interface 1 (which can be VGA interface, DVI interface or any display interface) as the main display device to display POST information.

[0079] Under the operating system, the user enables the multi-control bar function in the multi-monitor mode (this function can also be set to be enabled by default after entering the system, so as to avoid restarting after entering the system every time), and the control bar will appear on each display superior. Users can check stock quotes online, analyze financial statements, and play games with strong visual impact. Users can open new applications on any display screen, shut down the system, and do everything that is only available on the primary display device in traditional multi-monitor mode. Thus, the sensory enj...

Abstract

The disclosed control method for control column in multi-display system with a main display device, secondary display and corresponding adaptors comprises: collecting display domain parameters of all effective devices to convert and store; according to converted parameters, generating control columns in displays; receiving and executing the operation command to column from input device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a data processing technology related to a graphical user interface, in particular to a control method and device for a control bar of a multi-display system. Background technique [0002] Since the advent of the first personal computer (PC), computer technology has developed rapidly, and the operation of computers has become more and more convenient and humanized. [0003] In the first few years of the birth of the computer, users were faced with a boring character interface, and could only input instructions through the command line, making the operation of the computer difficult to understand. Therefore, as a user-oriented convenient and easy-to-use computer operation mode, the advent of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and its application in the operating system meet people's needs. The graphical user interface makes operating a computer as convenient and fun as ordinary people operating a TV, laying a decisive foundation...
