[0040] In the related art, users usually first call out the sidebar or Dock bar of the terminal device, and trigger the corresponding floating window by clicking or dragging the corresponding application icon in the sidebar or Dock bar, thereby running the corresponding application in the form of a floating window. The operation path for triggering the floating window is too long.

[0041] An embodiment of the present application provides a window control method. When a first application is running in full-screen mode, a user can trigger the terminal to switch the first application from full-screen mode to floating display mode through a multi-finger pinch operation, thereby displaying the first application as a floating window or a floating control. In this way, the operation path of triggering the floating window or floating control is shortened and the efficiency of triggering the floating window or floating control is improved.

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0043] Figure 1 The following is a schematic diagram of the implementation process of the window control method provided by the embodiment of the present application. The execution subject of the process is a terminal device such as a mobile phone or a tablet. Figure 1 As shown, the window control method includes:

[0044] Step 101: When a first application is running in full-screen mode, when a first multi-finger pinch operation is detected, the first application is switched from full-screen mode to floating display mode; wherein,

[0045] The first application is displayed as a floating window or a floating control in the floating display mode; the floating control represents a minimized state of the floating window.

[0046] Here, when the terminal runs the first application in full-screen mode, the touch operation input by the user through the touch screen of the terminal is detected. When the number of touch points of the touch operation is greater than or equal to the set number, the sliding distance of each touch point is greater than or equal to the set threshold and the sliding trend of all touch points is inward, the touch operation is identified as a first multi-finger pinch operation. At this time, the first application is switched from full-screen mode to floating display mode, so that the first application is run in a floating window, or the first application is displayed as a floating control. Among them, the set number can be set to 3, the set number can be set to 4 or 5. The setting threshold is used to prevent misoperation. The floating control can be a floating ball or a floating handle.

[0047] In actual application, users can use five fingers to pinch inward from the edge of the window to trigger a multi-finger pinch operation.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown in the interface switching diagram, when the mailbox application is running in full-screen mode, when the terminal detects a first multi-finger pinch operation, the mailbox application is switched from full-screen mode to a floating display mode, wherein the mailbox application can be displayed as a floating window 21 or as a floating control 22 in the floating display mode.

[0049] It should be noted that when the first application is displayed as a floating control, the terminal runs the first application in the background or closes the first application. Since the floating control is always displayed at the forefront of the desktop, the user can click the floating control to trigger the terminal to switch the first application from the background running mode to the foreground running mode, or quickly start the first application. The user does not need to find the icon of the first application on the desktop and can start the first application by clicking the first icon.

[0050] It should be noted that when the terminal displays the first application as a floating space, the desktop of the terminal still displays the icon of the first application.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the terminal is running the first application in full-screen mode, the user can quickly trigger the terminal to switch the first application from full-screen mode to floating display mode through a multi-finger pinch operation, thereby displaying the first application as a floating window or floating control. In this way, the operation path of triggering the floating window or floating control is shortened and the efficiency of triggering the floating window or floating control is improved.

[0052] It should be noted that the window control method provided in this application supports at least two applications running in floating display mode. In actual applications, when the first application is switched from full-screen mode to floating display mode, the user can trigger the terminal to run the second application in full-screen mode; when the terminal runs the second application in full-screen mode, the first application is displayed in a floating manner at the forefront of the user interface of the second application. When a first multi-finger pinch operation is detected in the user interface of the second application, the second application is switched from full-screen mode to floating display mode. As a result, both the first application and the second application run in floating display mode.

[0053] The implementation of switching the second application from full-screen mode to floating display mode is the same as the implementation of switching the first application from full-screen mode to floating display mode in the context, and will not be repeated here.

[0054] For the window control method when the second application is running in the floating display mode, please refer to the relevant descriptions in the embodiments below, which are explained using the first application as an example.

[0055] Considering that users have different needs for displaying the first application as a floating window or a floating control, in order to more accurately identify user intent and better meet user needs, in some embodiments, switching the first application from full-screen mode to floating display mode includes:

[0056] determining a pinch amplitude corresponding to the first multi-finger pinch operation according to a sliding distance of each touch screen point in the first multi-finger pinch operation;

[0057] Based on the pinching amplitude, the first application is displayed as a floating window or a floating control.

[0058] Here, the terminal may determine an average sliding distance of all touch-screen points in the first multi-finger pinch operation based on the sliding distance of each touch-screen point in the first multi-finger pinch operation, and determine the average sliding distance as the pinch amplitude of the first multi-finger pinch operation. The terminal may also determine a minimum sliding distance or a maximum sliding distance from the sliding distance of each touch-screen point in the first multi-finger pinch operation, and determine the determined sliding distance as the pinch amplitude of the first multi-finger pinch operation.

[0059] When determining the pinching amplitude of the first multi-finger pinching operation, the terminal displays the first application as a floating window or a floating control based on the pinching amplitude.

[0060] Considering that in different scenarios, the user wants to display the first application in different floating display modes to process different tasks in parallel, in this embodiment, the terminal can display the first application as a floating window or floating control based on the pinch amplitude of the first multi-finger pinch operation, which can accurately identify the user's intention and meet the user's needs.

[0061] For example, in a scenario where a user needs to watch the content of a video while checking emails, the user can use a first multi-finger pinch operation to trigger the terminal to switch the mailbox application from full-screen mode to a floating window, so as to watch the corresponding video through the video playback interface displayed under the floating window; or, the user can also start the video playback application to play the video in full screen, and use a first multi-finger pinch operation to trigger the terminal to switch the video playback application from full-screen mode to a floating window, and play the video in the floating window. At this time, the floating window is displayed floatingly at the front end of the interface of the mailbox application, so that the user can watch the video while processing emails.

[0062] Based on the terminal determining the pinch amplitude corresponding to the first multi-finger pinch operation, in order to more accurately identify the user's intention, in some embodiments, displaying the first application as a floating window or a floating control based on the pinch amplitude includes:

[0063] When the pinch amplitude is less than or equal to a first set value, displaying the first application as a floating window; or

[0064] When the pinch amplitude is greater than the first set value, the first application is displayed as a floating control.

[0065] Here, the terminal may compare the determined pinch amplitude with a first set value to obtain a comparison result. If the comparison result indicates that the pinch amplitude is less than or equal to the first set value, the first application is displayed as a floating window; if the first comparison result indicates that the pinch amplitude is greater than the first set value, the first application is displayed as a floating control.

[0066] In this embodiment, the terminal displays the first application as a floating window or floating control according to the comparison result between the pinch amplitude corresponding to the first multi-finger pinch operation and the first set value, which can improve the control accuracy of the floating display mode.

[0067] In order to meet the diverse needs of users, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0068] In a case where the first application is displayed as a floating window, when a second multi-finger pinch operation is detected, the first application is displayed as a floating control.

[0069] Here, when the first application is displayed as a floating window, the terminal detects the touch operation input by the user in the floating window. When the number of touch screen points of the touch operation is greater than or equal to the set number, the sliding distance of each touch point is greater than or equal to the set threshold, and the sliding trend of all touch screen points is inward, the touch operation is identified as a second multi-finger pinch operation, and the first application is displayed as a floating control.

[0070] In actual application, a second set value is stored in the terminal. When the terminal detects a second multi-finger pinch operation in the floating window, the terminal determines the pinch amplitude corresponding to the second multi-finger pinch operation based on the sliding distance of each touch screen point in the second multi-finger pinch operation. If the pinch amplitude corresponding to the second multi-finger pinch operation is greater than the second set value, the first application is displayed as a floating control. If the pinch amplitude corresponding to the second multi-finger pinch operation is less than or equal to the second set value, the size of the floating window can be reduced, or the second multi-finger pinch operation can be not responded to. It should be noted that the first set value and the second set value can be the same or different.

[0071] In actual application, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the mailbox application is displayed as a floating window, if the user wants to watch a complete video screen, the user can enter a second pinch operation in the floating window to trigger the terminal to switch the mailbox application from a floating window to a floating control, so that the video can be watched in full screen.

[0072] In order to meet the diverse needs of users, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0073] When the first application is displayed as a floating window, when a first multi-finger pinch-out operation is detected, the first application is switched to a full-screen mode.

[0074] Here, when the first application is displayed as a floating window, the terminal detects the touch operation input by the user in the floating window. When the number of touch screen points of the touch operation is greater than or equal to the set number, the sliding distance of each touch point is greater than or equal to the set threshold and the sliding trend of all touch screen points is outward, the touch operation is identified as a first multi-finger stretching operation, and the first application is switched from floating display mode to full-screen mode.

[0075] In actual application, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the mailbox application is displayed as a floating window, when the user wants to reply to an email, the user can input a first multi-finger stretching operation in the floating window, triggering the terminal to switch the mailbox application from a floating display mode to a full-screen mode so that the user can process the email.

[0076] In actual application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the user can use five fingers to stretch outward from the edge area of ​​the floating window to trigger a multi-finger pinch-out operation. In this case, the sliding end point of the multi-finger pinch-out operation can fall outside the floating window.

[0077] In order to meet the diverse needs of users, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0078] When the first application is displayed as a floating window, the size of the floating window is adjusted accordingly according to the detected third multi-finger pinch-in operation or the second multi-finger pinch-out operation.

[0079] Here, when the first application is displayed as a floating window, the number of touch screen points detected in the touch operation is greater than or equal to the set number, the sliding distance of each touch point is greater than or equal to the set threshold, and the sliding trend of all touch screen points is to gather inward, the touch operation is identified as a third multi-finger pinch operation. The terminal determines the pinch amplitude corresponding to the third multi-finger pinch operation based on the sliding distance of each touch screen point in the third multi-finger pinch operation, and reduces the size of the floating window when the pinch amplitude corresponding to the third multi-finger pinch operation is less than or equal to the second set value. Therefore, in the scenario where the first application is displayed in a floating manner at the front of the interface of the second application running in full-screen mode, the occluded area of ​​the second application can be reduced by reducing the floating window, making it easier for the user to view the relevant content of the second application; in the scenario where the first application is displayed in a floating manner at the forefront of the desktop, reducing the floating window can make it easier for the user to view the obscured application icons.

[0080] When the first application is displayed as a floating window, in order to facilitate viewing of the content displayed in the floating window, the user can input a second multi-finger stretching operation in the floating window, thereby triggering the terminal to enlarge the size of the floating window, and the content displayed in the floating window is also enlarged, so that the user can view the content displayed in the floating window more clearly. Here, the stretching amplitude of the second multi-finger stretching operation is smaller than the stretching amplitude of the first multi-finger stretching operation, and the stretching amplitude is determined based on the sliding distance of each touch screen point in the multi-finger stretching operation. In actual application, a third setting value can be set. When the stretching amplitude of the detected multi-finger stretching operation is less than or equal to the third setting value, the size of the floating window is enlarged according to the stretching amplitude, and the size of the enlarged floating window is smaller than the size of the full-screen mode; when the stretching amplitude of the detected multi-finger stretching operation is greater than the third setting value, the first application switches from the floating display mode to the full-screen mode.

[0081] In practical applications, such as Figure 6 As shown, the floating window 21 may further include a control 211 , and the user may press and hold the control 211 to drag the floating window 21 , thereby dragging the floating window 21 to a different location.

[0082] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0083] When a set touch operation is detected, the first application is exited from the floating display mode.

[0084] Here, the terminal stores information related to the touch operation for triggering the terminal to exit the floating display mode. In actual application, the touch operation set for closing the floating window may be different from the touch operation set by the user to close the floating control.

[0085] When the first application is running in floating display mode, the terminal obtains the touch operation input by the user at the display position corresponding to the floating window or floating control. If the detected touch operation is the set touch operation, the first application is exited from the floating display mode. Thus, the user can input the set touch gesture in the floating window to conveniently control the terminal to exit the floating display mode.

[0086] In actual application, the terminal detects that the user clicks Figure 6 Alternatively, when the terminal detects that the touch operation input by the user at the display position corresponding to the floating control is a set touch operation, the floating control is closed to exit the mail application from the floating display mode.

[0087] In this embodiment, the user can conveniently trigger the terminal to exit the floating display mode through a preset touch operation.

[0088] In some embodiments, exiting the first application from the floating display mode includes:

[0089] Close the first application;

[0090] Switch the first application from a floating display mode to a full-screen mode.

[0091] In actual application, when the terminal displays the first application as a floating window, the terminal detects that the user clicks Figure 6 When the control 211 in the terminal is detected, the floating window is closed and the first application is closed; when the terminal detects that the user double-clicks Figure 6 When the control 211 in is opened, the floating window is closed and the first application is switched from the floating display mode to the full screen mode.

[0092] When the terminal displays the first application as a floating control, the terminal closes the floating control and the first application when it detects that the user double-clicks the floating control; when the terminal detects that the user single-clicks the floating control, it closes the floating control and switches the first application from a floating display mode to a full-screen mode.

[0093] In this embodiment, it is possible to accurately identify whether the user wants to close the first application or switch the first application from the floating display mode to the full-screen mode through different set touch operations.

[0094] In order to implement the method of the embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application also provides a terminal, such as Figure 7 As shown, the terminal includes:

[0095] The control unit 71 is configured to switch the first application from the full-screen mode to the floating display mode when a first multi-finger pinch operation is detected when the first application is running in the full-screen mode; wherein,

[0096] The first application is displayed as a floating window or a floating control in the floating display mode; the floating control represents a minimized state of the floating window.

[0097] In some embodiments, the control unit 71 is configured to:

[0100] In some embodiments, the control unit 71 is configured to:

[0101] When the pinch amplitude is less than or equal to a first set value, displaying the first application as a floating window; or

[0105] In some embodiments, the control unit 71 is further configured to: when the first application is displayed as a floating window, adjust the size of the floating window accordingly according to the detected third multi-finger pinch-in operation or the second multi-finger pinch-out operation.

[0106] In some embodiments, the control unit 71 is further configured to: upon detecting a set touch operation, cause the first application to exit the floating display mode.

[0107] The step of causing the first application to exit the floating display mode includes:

[0108] Close the first application; or,

[0109] Switch the first application from a floating display mode to a full-screen mode.

[0110] In actual application, the control unit 71 can be implemented through a processor in the terminal, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), a microcontroller unit (MCU) or a programmable gate array (FPGA).
