Among them, the important content can be a pop-up box, prompt information or notification message. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present application provides a layer processing method and an electronic device for optimizing the display of a dimmer layer.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a layer processing method, which is applied to an electronic device, the method comprising: at a first moment, a first window is displayed in the center of the screen of the electronic device, and the first window is smaller than the screen; the touch area corresponding to the first window includes the area of ​​the screen where the first window is located and part or all of the area outside the area; after detecting the first operation, at a second moment, the first content is displayed in the screen, and a dimming layer is displayed in the center of the screen, and the brightness of the area covered by the dimming layer at the second moment is lower than the brightness of the covered area at the first moment; the covered area at least includes: at the second moment, the non-overlapping area of ​​the area where the first window is located and the first content.

[0005] In the above embodiment, the first moment can be understood as the moment 1 involved in the following implementation, and the second moment can be understood as the moment 2 involved in the following embodiment. The first window can be window 1 involved in the following embodiment. The first operation can be the operation that requires displaying the dimmer layer involved in the following embodiment. The dimming layer is the dimmer layer involved in the following embodiment. The touch area corresponding to the first window includes the area of ​​the screen where the first window is located and part or all of the area outside the area, indicating that the electronic device has expanded the touch area corresponding to the first window, so that the touch area corresponding to the first window is expanded from the area where the first window is located to a larger area. In this scenario, the electronic device can still display the dimming layer in the center, and the dimming layer is not offset with the touch area, thereby optimizing the display of the dimming layer.

[0006] In combination with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method also includes: determining that the initial touch area corresponding to the first window is the area where the first window is located; modifying the left border of the initial touch area from the first left border to the second left border, and modifying the right border of the initial touch area from the first right border to the second right border, to obtain the touch area corresponding to the first window; the second left border is closer to the left border of the screen than the first left border, and the second right border is closer to the right border of the screen than the first right border, or the second left border is equal to the left border of the screen, and the second right border is equal to the right border of the screen.

[0007] In the above embodiment, when the touch area of ​​the first window is expanded, it is expanded to the left and right at the same time, which is beneficial for the user to operate the electronic device.

[0016] In the above embodiment, the touch area of ​​the first window is larger than the area where the first window is located, which means that the touch area of ​​the first window has been expanded. If the position of the dimming layer is not adjusted, the dimming layer will be offset. The window is displayed in the center under the parallel view, which means that the electronic device is in the horizontal screen state.

[0017] In combination with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first window is displayed in the center, specifically including: the left border of the first window and the right border of the first window are on both sides of the center line of the screen; wherein, the distance between the center line of the screen and the left border of the screen is equal to the distance between the center line of the screen and the right border of the screen.

[0036] For applications in electronic devices that support parallel horizons, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the application provides only one window and the electronic device is in landscape mode, the electronic device can display the window in the center of the screen to enhance the display effect. The electronic device here is a device with a parallel view function, usually a device with a larger screen, such as a tablet.

[0037] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the window provided by the application refers to a window created by the application request, which is used to display content that can be provided by the application.

[0038] Based on the scenario where a single window is displayed in the center under parallel vision, the electronic device can expand the touch area corresponding to the window from the area where the window is located in the screen to the area where the window is located in the screen and part or all of the area outside the area, for example, to the entire screen.

[0039] For the sake of convenience in the following description, unless otherwise specified, the default description is given as an example in which the touch area of ​​the window is expanded to the full screen.

[0040] The aforementioned touch area expansion solution allows the user to interact with the electronic device not only through the area where the window is located, thereby updating the content displayed in the window, but also through the area outside the window, thereby updating the content displayed in the window, thereby achieving a better interactive experience. For example, when holding the electronic device with both hands, the electronic device can be better operated.

[0041] However, in the scenario where a single window is displayed in the center under the aforementioned parallel view and the touch area of ​​the window is expanded, for some operations that require the display of the dimming layer, the electronic device will have display problems when responding to such operations. The display problem is that the position of the dimmer layer on the screen is offset and not displayed in the center. Such operations may include operations for triggering the display of a pop-up window.

[0042] For example, refer to Figure 1 As shown, an operation on more controls 101 is detected, and in response to the operation, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device can display the pop-up box 201 and the dimmer layer 202, but the dimmer layer 202 is not displayed in the center and is offset to the left. Here, the reason why the dimmer layer is not displayed in the center can be referred to as follows Figure 3 Description.

[0043] like Figure 3As shown in (1), window 1 is a window provided by an application that supports parallel vision and is displayed in the center of the electronic device. In response to an operation that requires displaying a dimmer layer, the electronic device can create a dimmer layer. The initial size of the dimmer layer when it is created can be the same as the size of window 1. Then, the electronic device will align the left border of the dimmer layer with the left border of the touch area corresponding to window 1, in order to make the dimmer layer, window 1, and the touch area corresponding to window 1 in the same position on the screen. If the touch area corresponding to window 1 is not expanded and is the area where window 1 is located on the screen, then the aforementioned solution for adjusting the left border of the dimmer layer can indeed make the dimmer layer, window 1, and the touch area corresponding to window 1 in the same position on the screen. However, now that the touch area corresponding to window 1 is larger than the area where window 1 is located on the screen, the aforementioned solution for adjusting the left border of the dimmer layer will cause the dimmer layer to be biased to the left of the screen.

[0044] It should be noted here that the aforementioned purpose of making the dimmer layer, window 1, and the touch area corresponding to window 1 in the same position on the screen by adjusting the left border of the dimmer layer to align with the left border of the touch area corresponding to window 1 is for illustration. In actual situations, whether the adjusted border is the left border should not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present application. As long as the border between window 1 and the touch area (after expansion) is not aligned, it can be the border that causes the dimmer layer to shift. For example, when the size of the dimmer layer is the same as window 1 and the touch area corresponding to window 1, adjusting the right border can also achieve the same effect. Similarly, if the touch area corresponding to window 1 is larger than the area where window 1 is located on the screen, adjusting the right border will also cause the dimmer layer to shift, but the shift will be changed from left to right. Based on this, the left border can also be understood as the misaligned border between window 1 and the touch area (after expansion).

[0045] It should also be noted that the bounds of a rectangle (such as the dimmer layer, window 1, and touch area) are used to determine the position of the rectangle on the screen and can also be used to determine the size of the rectangle. The bounds of a rectangle include the top bound, bottom bound, left bound, and right bound. Figure 4 As shown, in some possible cases, the left border of the rectangle can be expressed as the distance between the left border and the left border of the screen (see left), the right border of the rectangle can be expressed as the distance between the right border and the left border of the screen (see right), the upper border of the rectangle can be expressed as the distance between the upper border and the upper border of the screen (see top), and the lower border of the rectangle can be expressed as the distance between the lower border and the upper border of the screen (see bottom).

[0046] The left boundary mentioned above is parallel to the right boundary, and the upper boundary is parallel to the lower boundary. Moreover, the upper, lower, left, and right mentioned above do not specifically refer to a fixed direction, but are relative directions.

[0047] The aforementioned dimmer layer has at least the following functions: to reduce the brightness of the area covered by the dimmer layer to highlight the content (such as a pop-up window) not covered by the dimmer layer. Furthermore, it may also include: to prompt the user that the area covered by the dimmer layer is no longer touch-controllable. For example, the controls in the area covered by the dimmer layer can no longer be touched to respond to the function corresponding to the control.

[0048] In order to solve the problem of dimmer layer offset involved in the above solution, a layer processing method is proposed. In this method, for the scenario where a single window is displayed in the center under the above parallel horizon and the touch area of ​​the window provided by the application (i.e., window 1) is expanded, in response to the operation of triggering the display of the pop-up box, the electronic device will perform relevant operations after the dimmer layer is created, so that the dimmer layer is displayed in the center.

[0049] In some possible cases, the related operation includes: no longer aligning the left border of the dimmer layer with the left border of the touch area corresponding to window 1. Instead, the position of the dimmer layer is set to the position of window 1, so that the dimmer layer is in the same position as window 1 and is displayed centered with window 1. For example, the left border of the dimmer layer is aligned with the left border of window 1 to make the dimmer layer in the same position as window 1.

[0050] In some other possible cases, the related operation includes: when the touch area (after expansion) corresponding to window 1 is centered, setting the position of the dimmer layer to be the same as the position of the touch area, so that the dimmer layer is displayed in the center. The touch area is not limited to being full screen, and the center line of the touch area can be the same as the center line of window 1.

[0051] An example scenario where the dimmer layer is centered can be found in Figure 1 as well as Figure 5 ,refer to Figure 1 As shown, at time 1, the electronic device in landscape mode displays the aforementioned window 1 (smaller than the screen) in the center of the screen. The touch area corresponding to the window 1 includes: the area where the window 1 is located in the screen and part or all of the area outside the area. After detecting the operation for triggering the display of the pop-up window, refer to Figure 5As shown, at time 2, the electronic device displays a pop-up box (e.g., pop-up box 201) on the screen, and displays the dimmer layer in the center of the screen. The brightness of the area covered by the dimmer layer at time 2 is less than the brightness of the covered area at time 1. The covered area at least includes: at time 2, the non-overlapping area of ​​the area where window 1 is located and the pop-up box. Figure 5 As shown in (1), the dimmer layer (e.g., dimmer layer 501) is displayed in the center and has the same position as window 1. Figure 5 As shown in (2), the dimmer layer (eg, dimmer layer 502) is displayed in the center and has the same position as the touch area (full screen).

[0052] The exemplary process of achieving the same position of the dimmer layer and window 1 can be referred to Figure 3 As shown in (2), the initial size of the dimmer layer when it is created can be the same as the size of window 1. Then, the electronic device aligns the left border of the dimmer layer with the left border of window 1, so that the dimmer layer and window 1 are in the same position on the screen. At this time, the position of the dimmer layer on the screen does not refer to the touch area corresponding to window 1.

[0053] The exemplary process of achieving the same position of the dimmer layer and the touch area (corresponding to window 1) can be referred to Figure 3 As shown in (3), the initial size of the dimmer layer when it is created can be the same as the size of window 1. Then, the electronic device will align the left border of the dimmer layer with the left border of the touch area corresponding to window 1, and the electronic device will also align the right border of the dimmer layer with the right border of the touch area corresponding to window 1, so that the dimmer layer and the touch area corresponding to window 1 are in the same position on the screen.

[0054] It should be noted here that the centering of the dimmer layer, the centering of the touch area, and the centering of window 1 involved in the embodiment of the present application are centered to the same degree, that is, the center lines of the dimmer layer, the touch area, and the window 1 on the screen are the same. The center line of a rectangle (such as the dimmer layer, the window 1, and the touch area, etc.) can be equal to half of the difference between the right boundary and the left boundary of the rectangle.

[0055] Figure 6 An exemplary flow chart of the layer processing method in the embodiment of the present application is shown. For an exemplary description of realizing the centering display of the dimmer layer, reference may be made to the following description of steps S11 to S21.

[0056] S11. Open the application.

[0057] In response to an operation of starting an application (eg, a click operation on an application icon), the electronic device initializes the application to start the application, such as creating a window of the application to prepare for displaying the window provided by the application on the screen.

[0058] S12. Determine whether the application supports parallel horizons.

[0059] The electronic device determines whether the application is included in the whitelist applications supporting parallel horizons. If included, it is determined that the application supports parallel horizons. If not included, it is determined that the application does not support parallel horizons.

[0060] If the application does not support parallel horizons, the application window is displayed in a non-parallel horizon mode.

[0061] In case the application supports parallel vision, the electronic device executes the following step S13.

[0062] S13. Adjust the window border of the application window.

[0063] The electronic device adjusts the border of the window (window border) so that the window adapts to the single-window centered display mode under the parallel field of view.

[0064] It should be noted that the aforementioned window 1 can be regarded as a window with an adjusted window border.

[0065] S14. Determine whether the window is a single window centered under a parallel field of view.

[0066] When the application requests to create more than one window (for example, a dual window), the electronic device determines that the application is not displayed as a single window centered under a parallel field of view, and then the electronic device displays the dual window requested to be created by the application in a dual window mode of a parallel field of view.

[0067] In the case that the application only requests to create a window, the electronic device determines that the window is a single window in a parallel field of view and is displayed in the center. Then, the electronic device can perform the following step S15 to adjust the touch area corresponding to the window.

[0068] S15. The touch area corresponding to the adjustment window 1 (the window after the border adjustment) is the full screen.

[0069] The initial touch area corresponding to window 1 is the area of ​​the screen where window 1 is located, and the electronic device modifies the left boundary of the initial touch area from left boundary 1 to left boundary 2, and modifies the right boundary of the initial touch area from right boundary 1 to right boundary 2, so as to obtain an extended touch area (referred to as touch area for short). The left boundary 2 of the touch area is equal to the left boundary of the screen, and the right boundary 2 of the touch area is equal to the right boundary of the screen.

[0070] It should be noted that the expansion of the touch area to the full screen in step S15 is an example. In actual situations, the touch area corresponding to the extended window 1 can be larger than the area where the window 1 is located in the screen, and should not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present application. When the touch area is larger than the area where the window 1 is located in the screen but smaller than the screen, the left boundary 2 of the touch area is closer to the left boundary of the screen than the left boundary 1, and the right boundary 2 is closer to the right boundary of the screen than the right boundary 1. Generally speaking, the distance between the left boundary 2 and the left boundary of the screen should be equal to the distance between the right boundary 2 and the right boundary of the screen.

[0071] S16. An operation that triggers display of a pop-up window is detected.

[0072] An example of the operation of triggering the display of the pop-up window may be the aforementioned Figure 1 For more operations on controls 101.

[0073] For this operation, the electronic device creates a pop-up window, and when creating the pop-up window, a dimmer layer bound to the pop-up window is correspondingly created. For related content, please refer to the following step S17.

[0074] S17. Create a dimmer layer bound to the pop-up box.

[0075] Binding the pop-up box to the dimmer layer means that the electronic device will set the level of the dimmer layer below the level of the pop-up box so that the dimmer layer will not cover the pop-up box.

[0076] S18. Set the size of the dimmer layer.

[0077] Refer to the above Figure 3 Description, the initial size of the dimmer layer when it is created can be the same as the size of window 1.

[0078] S19. Determine whether the application is displayed in a single window centered under a parallel field of view, and whether the size of the touch area is expanded.

[0079] When it is determined that the touch area corresponding to window 1 is larger than the area where window 1 is located on the screen, it means that the size of the touch area is determined to be expanded. When the touch area corresponding to window 1 is full screen, it can be understood that the touch area corresponding to window 1 is determined to be full screen.

[0080] If it is determined that the application is a single window centered under a parallel field of view, and the size of the touch area corresponding to window 1 is expanded, the following step S20 is performed. Otherwise, step S20 is not performed.

[0081] S20. Adjust the border of the dimmer layer to be consistent with the border of window 1.

[0082] For the related contents of adjusting the boundary of the dimmer layer to be consistent with the boundary of window 1, please refer to the aforementioned description of setting the position of the dimmer layer to be the same as the position of window 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0083] It should be noted that step S20 is optional. In actual situations, the position of the dimmer layer can be adjusted to be centered. For example, when the touch area corresponding to window 1 is centered, the boundary of the dimmer layer can also be adjusted to be consistent with the boundary of the touch area. For this process, please refer to the aforementioned description of setting the position of the dimmer layer to be the same as the position of the touch area, which will not be repeated here.

[0084] S21. Display the pop-up window and dimmer layer.

[0085] A schematic diagram of the electronic device displaying the pop-up box and dimmer layer can be referred to above Figure 5 The content shown in (1) in the figure. The brightness of the area covered by the dimmer layer is reduced, and the bullet box is not included in the covered area.

[0086] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of a system structure for implementing the layer processing method in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0087] like Figure 7 As shown, the system structure is divided into several layers, each layer has a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the system structure is divided into 6 layers, from top to bottom, they are application layer, application framework layer, local framework layer, hardware abstraction layer (HAL), kernel layer (also called Linux layer) and hardware layer.

[0088] Among them, the application layer can include a series of application packages.

[0089] The application framework layer provides application programming interface (API) and programming framework for applications in the application layer.

[0090] The application framework layer may include an activity manager service (AMS) and a window manager service (WMS).

[0091] The activity management service is a component in the electronic device system that manages activities. The activity management service is responsible for the life cycle management, task stack management, and process management of application programs (referred to as applications) to ensure that applications are correctly started, paused, resumed, and destroyed under user operations.

[0092] The window management service is a component responsible for window management in the electronic device system. It is responsible for processing tasks such as the creation and position adjustment of application windows. The aforementioned operations of extending the touch area of ​​the window 1 and adjusting the position of the dimmer layer can be performed in the window management service.

[0093] After launching the application, the activity management service can also participate in the surface preparation of window 1 so that the electronic device can successfully display window 1. In some possible cases, the activity management service can call the activity record (activityRecord) class to participate in the surface preparation of window 1. The window management service can also call the window container (windowContainer) class, the task (task) class, and the window state (windowState) class to participate in the surface preparation of window 1. In the process of participating in the surface preparation of window 1, the window management service calls the windowState class to expand the touch area of ​​​​window 1.

[0094] After detecting the operation that triggers the display of the pop-up window, the window management service can call the windowContainer class, windowState class, and dimming class to work together to complete the creation and position adjustment of the dimmer layer so that the dimmer layer is displayed in the center.

[0095] The local framework layer is located between the application framework layer and the kernel layer, and mainly includes the native implementation of hardware access and system services. The local framework layer can be used by the surface compositor (SF).

[0096] The surface compositor is used to composit the content to be displayed so as to display the synthesized content on the screen. For example, the surface compositor can be used to composit the layer where window 1 is located, the layer where the window carrying the dimmer layer (window 2) is located, and the layer where the pop-up box is located.

[0097] In some possible cases, the surface compositor can complete operations related to compositing the content to be displayed through the hardware compositor (HWC), which is located in the hardware abstraction layer.

[0098] The display driver (located at the kernel layer) is used to receive the synthesized content and transmit it to the display screen (also called the screen, located at the hardware layer) for display.

[0099] Figure 8 An exemplary module interaction diagram for implementing the layer processing method in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0100] The modules involved here mainly include activity management service and window management service. Taking the expansion of the touch area of ​​Window 1 to full screen as an example, the relevant processes involved in the center display of the dimmer layer in the scenario where the touch area of ​​the window provided by the application is expanded and the single window is displayed in the center under the parallel view are explained. The details involved in this process can be referred to the following steps S101-S111.

[0101] S101. The desktop sends a request to start an activity to the activity manager, so as to start an activity of an application.

[0102] The execution timing of step S101 includes: detecting an operation of opening an application on a desktop (launcher).

[0103] The request for starting an activity carries application information (such as the package name of the application and the name of the activity, etc.). After receiving the request for starting an activity, the activity manager launches the corresponding application.

[0104] In some possible cases, the activity manager can launch the application through the startActivity() function.

[0105] S102. The application sends display resources for creating an application window to the activity management service.

[0106] The display resource of the application window may be used to prepare display content (also referred to as surface content) in the application window (eg, window 1 ).

[0107] In some possible cases, the application can send display resources for creating the application window to the activity management service through the onCreate() function.

[0108] S103. The activity management service sends a request for adding a window to the window management service. The request carries application information (eg, application package name) of the application and window information of the window requested to be added.

[0109] The window information may include the size of the window and the properties of the window, wherein the properties of the window include whether the window is a special window (such as a surface window) or a normal window.

[0110] In some possible cases, the activity management service can request the window management service to add the application's window through the addwindow() function.

[0111] After receiving the request to add a window, the window management service adds window 1 and executes the following steps S104a and S104b.

[0112] S104a. The window management service prepares surface content for window 1 (the added window).

[0113] S104b. The window management service determines whether the application supports parallel horizons based on the application information. If it does, the window mode and window border of window 1 are modified, and the touch area corresponding to window 1 is modified to be full screen.

[0114] When it is determined that the application package name of the application is included in the whitelist applications supporting parallel view, the window management service determines that the application supports parallel view. Otherwise, it is determined that the application does not support parallel view.

[0115] If the application supports parallel horizons, the window management service modifies the window mode of window 1 to parallel horizon mode. Since only one window is opened at this time, the window management service will also modify the border of window 1 so that window 1 can be displayed in the center of the screen, and it is also necessary to modify (expand) the touch area corresponding to window 1 to full screen. For the relevant content involved in this process, please refer to the above description of steps S12 to S15, which will not be repeated here.

[0116] It should be noted here that there is no particular order in which step S104a and step S104b are executed, and they can be executed simultaneously.

[0117] In some possible cases, such as Fig. 9 As shown in (1), for window 1, the window management service can execute the aforementioned steps S104a and S104b through the preareSurface() function.

[0118] like Fig. 9 As shown in (1), the window management service calls the window container (windowContainer) class and the task class through the preareSurface() function, and cooperates with the activity record (activityRecord) class in the activity management service to prepare the surface content (the surface content of window 1), and calls the window state (windowState) class to determine whether the application supports parallel worlds based on the application information. If it does, the window mode and window border of window 1 are modified, and the touch area corresponding to window 1 is modified.

[0119] After the surface content of the window 1 is prepared, the window management service may execute the following steps S105 and S106 to display the window 1 on the screen.

[0120] S105. The window management service fills the surface content of window 1 into window 1.

[0121] S106. The window management service transmits the filled window 1 to the surface compositor for synthesis and display.

[0122] After window 1 is displayed, user operations can be detected through the touch area corresponding to window 1. When an operation that triggers the display of a pop-up window is detected, the following steps S107-S111 can be executed to display a pop-up window on the screen and display the dimmer layer in the center.

[0123] S107. Add a pop-up window to the application.

[0124] The application sends the pop-up information to the window management service.

[0125] S108. Check the properties of the pop-up window, and if it is confirmed to be a pop-up window, add window 2.

[0126] When the window management service determines that it is a pop-up window, the addwindow() function can be used to add window 2, which is used to carry the dimmer layer bound to the pop-up window.

[0127] S109. The window management service creates a dimmer layer. If the window mode of window 1 is parallel view mode, window 1 is centered and the touch area of ​​window 1 is full screen, the layer position is set and the window boundary position of window 1 is used as the layer position of the dimmer layer.

[0128] The initial size of the dimmer layer when it is created is the same as the size of window 1. Then, when the window mode of window 1 is parallel horizon mode, window 1 is centered, and the touch area of ​​window 1 is full screen, the window management service can set the layer position and use the window boundary position of window 1 as the layer position of the dimmer layer, so that the position of the dimmer layer is the same as that of window 1.

[0129] In some possible cases, the window management service can use the setPosition(mDimLayer, bound.left, bound.top) function to set the window boundary position of window 1 as the layer position of the dimmer layer. Among them, bound.left means that the left boundary of window 1 is used as the left boundary of the dimmer layer. Bound.top means that the top boundary of window 1 is used as the top boundary of the dimmer layer. In actual situations, the left boundary of window 1 is used as the left boundary of the dimmer layer to align the position of window 1 with the dimmer layer. The top boundary is also adjusted here to further ensure that the position of window 1 is aligned with the dimmer layer.

[0130] In some possible cases, such as Fig. 9 As shown in (2), for window 2, the window management service can execute the aforementioned step S109 through the preareSurface() function.

[0131] like Fig. 9 As shown in (2), the window management service calls the window container (windowContainer) class and the window state (windowState) class through the preareSurface() function to perform related operations (such as preparation operations) to create a dimmer layer, and the window management service calls the task (task) class and the dimming (dimmer) class through the preareSurface() function to adjust the dimmer layer. The window management service calls the dimming (dimmer) class through the preareSurface() function to perform the following operations to obtain a dimmer layer with the same position as window 1. The process includes: creating a dimmer layer, if the window mode of window 1 is parallel world mode, window 1 is centered display, and the touch area of ​​window 1 is full screen, then setting the layer position, and using the window boundary position of window 1 as the layer position of the dimmer layer.

[0132] In step S109, the process of determining that window 1 is displayed in the center can refer to the following Fig.10 Description of steps S31-S33 in .

[0133] S31. Get the window border of window 1 and get the screen border.

[0134] It should be noted here that if the acquisition in step S31 fails, it is determined that window 1 is not displayed in the center.

[0135] S32. Execute left1=left border in window border, right1=right border in window border and middle=right border in screen border / 2.

[0136] S33. Determine whether left1<=middle and right1>=middle.

[0137] That is, it is determined whether the left border and the right border of window 1 are on both sides of the center line of the screen, and if so, it is determined that the window is displayed in the center. Otherwise, it is determined that the window is not displayed in the center.

[0138] Not limited to the aforementioned steps S31 to S33, other methods may be used to determine whether the window is displayed in the center. For example, determine whether the center line of window 1 is equal to the center line of the screen, that is, determine whether (right1-left1) / 2 is equal to the right border of the screen border / 2. If so, the window is displayed in the center. Otherwise, the window is not displayed in the center.

[0139] After the position adjustment of the dimmer layer is completed, the following step S110 and step S111 are performed for the dimmer layer whose position is adjusted, so as to display a pop-up box on the screen and to display the dimmer layer in the center.

[0140] S110. The window management service fills the dimmer layer into window 2.

[0141] S111. The window management service transfers the filled window 2 to the surface compositor for synthesis and display.

[0142] The window management service synthesizes the layer where window 2 is located with other layers (including the layer where window 1 is located and the layer where the pop-up box is located) through the surface synthesizer to obtain the synthesized content, and transmits the synthesized content to the screen for display.

[0143] It should be noted that in the aforementioned step S109, setting the window boundary position of window 1 as the layer position of the dimmer layer is optional. In practice, the boundary position of the touch area can also be used as the layer position of the dimmer layer so that the position of the dimmer layer is the same as the position of the touch area.

[0144] Furthermore, in a solution where the position of the dimmer layer is aligned with the position of the touch area, it can also be set that the area covered by the dimmer layer no longer detects the user's touch operation.

[0145] It should be noted here that in the aforementioned embodiment, the operation that needs to display the dimmer layer is used to trigger the display of the pop-up window. It is not limited to the pop-up window, and can actually be used to trigger the display of other important content. For example, prompt information or notification messages, etc. This should not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.
