[0028] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0029] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a computing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that: Figure 1 The computing device 100 shown is only an example. In practice, the computing device used to implement the window display method of the present invention can be any type of device, and its hardware configuration can be different from the above. Figure 1 The computing device 100 shown is the same as Figure 1 The computing device 100 shown is different. In practice, the computing device used to implement the window display method of the present invention can be Figure 1 The hardware components of the computing device 100 shown are increased or deleted, and the present invention does not limit the specific hardware configuration of the computing device.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in a basic configuration 102, computing device 100 typically includes system memory 106 and one or more processors 104. A memory bus 108 may be used for communication between processor 104 and system memory 106.

[0031] Depending on the desired configuration, the processor 104 can be any type of processor, including but not limited to: a microprocessor (μP), a microcontroller (μC), a digital information processor (DSP), or any combination thereof. The processor 104 can include one or more levels of cache such as a first-level cache 110 and a second-level cache 112, a processor core 114, and registers 116. An example processor core 114 can include an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a floating point unit (FPU), a digital signal processing core (DSP core), or any combination thereof. An example memory controller 118 can be used with the processor 104, or in some implementations, the memory controller 118 can be an internal part of the processor 104.

[0032] Depending on the desired configuration, the system memory 106 can be any type of memory, including but not limited to: volatile memory (such as RAM), non-volatile memory (such as ROM, flash memory, etc.) or any combination thereof. The physical memory in the computing device generally refers to the volatile memory RAM, and the data in the disk needs to be loaded into the physical memory before it can be read by the processor 104. The system memory 106 may include an operating system 120, one or more applications 122, and program data 124. In some embodiments, the application 122 may be arranged to execute instructions on the operating system by one or more processors 104 using program data 124. The operating system 120 may be, for example, Linux, Windows, etc., which includes program instructions for processing basic system services and performing tasks that depend on hardware. The application 122 includes program instructions for implementing various user-desired functions, and the application 122 may be, for example, a browser, instant messaging software, a software development tool (such as an integrated development environment IDE, a compiler, etc.), etc., but is not limited thereto. When the application 122 is installed in the computing device 100, a driver module may be added to the operating system 120.

[0033] When the computing device 100 starts running, the processor 104 reads and executes the program instructions of the operating system 120 from the system memory 106. The application 122 runs on the operating system 120 and uses the interfaces provided by the operating system 120 and the underlying hardware to implement various functions desired by the user. When the user starts the application 122, the application 122 is loaded into the system memory 106, and the processor 104 reads and executes the program instructions of the application 122 from the system memory 106.

[0034] Computing device 100 also includes a storage device 132 including a removable storage 136 and a non-removable storage 138 , both of which are connected to storage interface bus 134 .

[0035] The computing device 100 may also include an interface bus 140 that facilitates communication from various interface devices (e.g., output devices 142, peripheral interfaces 144, and communication devices 146) to the basic configuration 102 via the bus / interface controller 130. Example output devices 142 include a graphics processing unit 148 and an audio processing unit 150. They can be configured to facilitate communication with various external devices such as a display or speakers via one or more A / V ports 152. Example peripheral interfaces 144 may include a serial interface controller 154 and a parallel interface controller 156, which may be configured to facilitate communication with external devices such as input devices (e.g., keyboards, mice, pens, voice input devices, touch input devices) or other peripherals (e.g., printers, scanners, etc.) via one or more I / O ports 158. Example communication devices 146 may include a network controller 160, which may be arranged to facilitate communication with one or more other computing devices 162 via a network communication link via one or more communication ports 164.

[0036] A network communication link can be an example of a communication medium. Communication media can generally be embodied as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transmission mechanism, and can include any information delivery medium. A "modulated data signal" can be a signal in which one or more of its data sets or its changes can be carried out in a manner that encodes information in the signal. As non-limiting examples, communication media can include wired media such as a wired network or a dedicated line network, and various wireless media such as sound, radio frequency (RF), microwave, infrared (IR) or other wireless media. The term computer-readable medium used herein can include both storage media and communication media.

[0037] In the computing device 100 according to the present invention, the application 122 includes instructions for executing the window display method 200 of the present invention, and the instructions can instruct the processor 104 to execute the window display method of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can understand that, in addition to the instructions for executing the window display method 200, the application 122 can also include other applications 126 for implementing other functions.

[0038] Figure 2 A flowchart of a window display method 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The method 200 is suitable for displaying a window on a computing device (eg Figure 1 Executed in the computing device 100 shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the method 200 starts at step S210.

[0039] In step S210, when the first preset event is monitored, a window selection interface is presented on the current desktop. Specifically, when the first preset event is monitored, a selection box is presented on each window displayed on the current desktop. The selection box can be presented in the upper right corner of each window, such as Figure 4 In addition, the default state of the selection box can be set to the selected state.

[0040] In this way, when the first preset event is monitored, a selection box is presented in the upper right corner of each window displayed on the current desktop, and each selection box is in a selected state. In other words, when the first preset event is monitored, what is presented on the current desktop is the selected interface of the window.

[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first preset event may be a pressing event of a predetermined key. The predetermined key may be a combination key of WIN+ALT. Thus, when the user presses the combination key of WIN+ALT, a selected selection box will appear in the upper right corner of each window displayed on the current desktop. The user can select the target window that he wants to combine into a set by changing the state of the selection box of each window.

[0042] Then, step S220 is entered, and when the second preset event is monitored, the multiple target windows selected from the window selection interface are combined into a window set. The second preset event may be a click event of the first button. Thus, when the click event of the first button is monitored, the multiple target windows selected by the user are combined into a window set.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first button can be called out when the first preset event is monitored. That is, when the first preset event is monitored, the first button is displayed on the current desktop. Specifically, the first button can be displayed at the lower center of the current desktop, such as Figure 4 As for the exit of the first button, it can be to hide the multiple target windows selected from the window selection interface after combining them into a window set.

[0044] In addition, it is to be noted that the second preset event may also be a pressing event of a preset key, which is not specifically limited in the present invention. In a specific embodiment, those skilled in the art may set the event according to actual needs.

[0045] Then, the process proceeds to step S230, where a first icon of the window set is generated and displayed. The first icon may be displayed on the taskbar of the current desktop. That is, after the selected multiple target windows are combined into a window set, an icon of the window set is generated, and the icon of the window set is displayed on the taskbar of the current desktop together with the icons of the remaining windows, such as Figure 5Of course, for Mac, the first icon can be displayed on its DOCK bar. The present invention does not limit the specific display position of the first icon. In a specific embodiment, those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs.

[0046] When a plurality of windows are combined into a window set and the icon of the window set is displayed on the task bar of the current desktop, all windows in the window set may be minimized by default, or all windows in the window set may be displayed on the current desktop at the same time by default, which is not specifically limited in the present invention. In a specific embodiment, those skilled in the art may make settings according to actual needs.

[0047] So far, multiple target windows that the user needs to display simultaneously are combined into a window set, and the icon of this window set is displayed on the task bar of the current desktop. In order to better understand the present invention, the above process is described below through a specific example.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the current desktop displays windows A, B, and D, and the taskbar displays icons of windows A, B, C, and D. When the user presses the WIN+ALT key combination, the selection interface of windows A, B, and D is displayed on the current desktop, and a combination button (i.e., the first button) is displayed at the lower center of the current desktop, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 At this point, the user can arbitrarily combine windows A, B, and D by changing the states of the selection boxes of windows A, B, and D and clicking the combination button. The computing device monitors the user's operation. When it detects that the user cancels the √ in the selection box of window D and clicks the combination button, it combines windows A and B into a window set, generates an icon combination α of the window set, and displays the icon combination α on the taskbar of the current desktop, as shown in the figure below. Figure 5 (Windows A and B are minimized by default).

[0049] After the first icon of the window set is generated, the start event of the first icon is monitored, and after the start event of the first icon is monitored, the process proceeds to step S240 to simultaneously display the multiple target windows in the window set on the current desktop.

[0050] Specifically, when a user clicks on an icon of a certain window set, it is determined whether all target windows in the window set are displayed on the current desktop. If not, it is determined that the user's click on the icon of the window set triggers a start event of the icon of the window set, and then multiple target windows in the window set are displayed on the current desktop at the same time.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the second preset event is monitored, the coordinates of each selected target window relative to the screen can also be obtained. In this way, when the start event of the first icon is monitored, multiple target windows in the window set can be displayed on the current desktop at the same time according to their respective coordinates.

[0052] The following is an example to illustrate step S240. Figure 5 , the current desktop displays window D, and the taskbar displays icon combination α (combination α is the icon of the window set of windows A and B), window C, and window D. When the user clicks icon combination α, it is determined that the user's click operation on icon combination α triggers the start event of icon combination α, and then windows A and B are displayed on the current desktop at the same time according to their respective coordinates, such as Figure 6 .

[0053] In addition, after generating the first icon of the window set, other events of the first icon can also be monitored, and then corresponding operations are performed when other events of the first icon are monitored. The details are as follows:

[0054] When a hide event of the first icon is monitored, multiple target windows in the window set are hidden at the same time. Specifically, when a user clicks an icon of a window set, it is determined whether all target windows in the window set are displayed on the current desktop. If so, it is determined that the click operation of the user on the icon of the window set triggers a hide event of the icon of the window set, and multiple target windows in the window set are hidden (i.e., minimized) at the same time.

[0055] When the cancel event of the first icon is monitored, the combination of the target window in the window set is canceled, and the first icon is removed from the taskbar. It can be set that when the user clicks the cancel menu item in the right-click menu bar of the first icon, the cancel event of the first icon is triggered. In this way, when it is monitored that the user clicks the cancel menu item in the right-click menu bar of the icon of a certain window set, the combination of the target window in the window set is released, and the icon of the window set is removed from the taskbar.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the first icon is removed from the taskbar, it is also determined whether the icon of each target window in the window set corresponding to the first icon is displayed in the current taskbar. If there is an icon of the target window that is not displayed in the current taskbar, the icon of the target window is displayed on the taskbar of the current desktop, and the target window is minimized. Of course, the target window can also be displayed on the current desktop, and the present invention is not limited to this. In a specific embodiment, those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs.

[0057] When the deletion event of the first icon is monitored, the selection interface of each target window in the window set is presented on the current desktop, and the status of each target window in the window set is monitored. When any target window is monitored to be in an unselected state, the second button is displayed on the current desktop. Then, the click event of the second button is monitored. When the click event of the second button is monitored, the target window that is not selected at this time is removed from the window set. Among them, it can be set that when the user clicks the delete menu item in the right-click menu bar of the first icon, the deletion event of the first icon is triggered.

[0058] When the add event of the first icon is monitored, the third button is displayed on the current desktop, the selection interface of each target window in the window set is presented on the current desktop, and the remaining windows displayed on the current desktop are set to the selected state. Then, the click event of the third button is monitored, and when the click event of the third button is monitored, the remaining selected windows are added to the window set. Among them, it can be set that when the user clicks the add menu item in the right-click menu bar of the first icon, the add event of the first icon is triggered.

[0059] In addition, when it is detected that the user places the cursor on the icon of a window set, the small window interface of all windows included in the window set will be displayed to facilitate the user to quickly check the specific window corresponding to the icon.

[0060] According to the window display method of the present invention, when a first preset event is monitored, a window selection interface is presented on the current desktop, and a second preset event is monitored. When the second preset event is monitored, multiple target windows selected from the window selection interface are combined into a window set, and the first icon of the window set is displayed on the taskbar of the current desktop. Subsequently, the startup event of the first icon is monitored. When the startup event of the first icon is monitored, multiple target windows in the window set are simultaneously displayed on the current desktop. It can be seen that the present invention can combine multiple windows that the user needs to display simultaneously into a window set, and display the icon of the window set on the taskbar. In this way, when the user needs to display these multiple windows simultaneously, it can be completed by triggering the startup event of the icon of the window set, and the user no longer needs to perform multiple operations, which is convenient and fast, and improves the user experience.
