[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0050] In order to facilitate the understanding of the technical solution of the present application, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is first described.

[0051] In some solutions, when a user clicks an application control in the interface on the desktop background on the mobile phone screen, the application will be opened in the form of a small window (floating window). For example, the user clicks the application control (application icon) in the sidebar, or clicks the application that has been opened and shrunk into a floating ball, or the corresponding application in the notification bar, etc.

[0052] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the interface for opening a floating window on a mobile phone is shown. Figure 1 As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , in the interface 101 , with the desktop as the background, when the user pulls up the sidebar 102 and clicks the “Calculator” application icon in the sidebar, the application window is displayed in the form of a floating window. Figure 1 As shown in (b) in the interface 103, the background on the screen is the desktop background, and the calculator application is opened on the screen in the form of a floating window.

[0053] In the above scenario, when the mobile phone executes the window display command, it only recognizes the operation mode entered by the user when opening the application. For example, Figure 1 As shown in the figure, in the sidebar of the interface, you click the application icon to open the application. After the phone recognizes the operation input by the user, it displays a floating window in the interface. In this process, the phone does not determine the interface background of the corresponding operation. In other words, no matter whether the current interface background is the desktop background or the running application window background, as long as you click the application icon in the sidebar, it will be opened in the form of a small window.

[0054] However, since the structure of the human eye determines the visible area and viewing angle of the human eye, it is subject to limitations. Therefore, whether on a mobile phone or a tablet, when opening a single application, in terms of the comfort of the user's visual experience, users prefer to open single-task applications in full screen.

[0055] Take mobile phones as an example, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2A schematic diagram of the visible area range of a mobile phone screen for human eyes is shown. The best viewing distance of the human eye to the mobile phone 200 is 30 cm. At this distance, the viewing angle range of the human eye is A, which happens to be the most comfortable visual experience when the mobile phone 200 displays the application window in full screen. However, if the application window is displayed in the interface of the floating window 201, since the floating window 201 is smaller than the screen size, the angle range between the floating window 201 and the human eye is B, which is smaller than the natural viewing angle range A when the human eye is 30 cm away from the mobile phone, and thus cannot provide a comfortable visual experience for the user. Moreover, when displayed in the form of a floating window, the reflected light from other positions of the screen will also be reflected back to the eye, affecting the user's line of sight and reducing the user experience.

[0056] In addition, statistics show that most users prefer to open a single application (single task) in the mobile phone interface when using their mobile phones. That is, the proportion of people who open a single application directly on the desktop is much higher than the proportion of people who open multiple applications at the same time. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A statistical diagram of preferences of user groups for launching chat apps in different contexts according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, taking the scenario where users open the chat app through the sidebar as an example, the number of users who directly open the "chat app" through the sidebar on the "desktop" is "96074". In the context of opening an app, the number of people who open a second app, such as the "camera" app, is "57886". In the context of opening "game app 1", the number of people who open the "chat app" is "54147". Figure 3 From the statistics, we can see that when the "startup background" is "desktop", the number of people who open the "startup application" is much greater than the number of people who open the "startup application" when the "startup background" is the application. Therefore, we can see that most user groups prefer to start the application on the desktop background. However, according to the existing opening method, even on the desktop background, it will be opened in a small window (floating window) instead of full screen. Based on the above Figure 2 From the analysis in , we can see that users prefer to display the window in full screen mode when it is displayed on the desktop background. Figure 3 From the data, we can see that there are many people who need to optimize the window display, and it is very necessary to improve the floating window display method.

[0057] Based on the above-mentioned problems, the present application provides a window display method, which performs logical optimization on the floating window display, thereby improving the user experience.

[0058] Combination Figure 4 The scene shown illustrates the window display method of the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4The mobile phone interface diagram of the embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 4 As shown in (a) of FIG. 4 , in the desktop background interface 410, when the mobile phone receives a single click operation (open operation) for the "Calculator" application in the sidebar (specific control) on the screen, the mobile phone determines whether there is a running program in the current screen, for example, a running application window. If there is no running program, it indicates that the current interface is the desktop background. At this time, the mobile phone responds to Figure 4 The operation in (a) above will display the application window in full screen. Figure 4 As shown in (b) in the figure, in the interface 420, the application window corresponding to the calculator application is displayed in full screen. Thus, when a single application is opened in the case of the desktop background, the content corresponding to the application is displayed in full screen to improve the user's visual effect and thus improve the user experience.

[0059] The above scenario is described using the sidebar as a specific control. In some embodiments of the present application, the specific control may also be other controls. For example, after the application is opened, it is reduced and a floating ball is formed on the desktop. At this time, the specific control may be the floating ball displayed in the scene. For another example, when a message notification control pops up on the desktop, the specific control at this time is a pop-up message notification control. In some embodiments, the specific control may also be a recent task, and the present application does not limit the specific control.

[0060] In the above scenario of the present application, a single-click operation is used as an explanation of an opening operation of opening an application in a floating window. In other embodiments of the present application, different operations can also be performed for different scenarios to open an application. For example, for the floating ball scenario when the specific control described above is a floating ball, the opening operation can be a single-click operation, specifically a single-click on the floating ball. At this time, the mobile phone determines whether there is a running program on the current screen, for example, a running application window. If there is no running program, it indicates that the current interface is the desktop background, and the application corresponding to the floating ball will display the corresponding application window in full screen. It is also possible to click the application icon corresponding to the floating ball on the desktop to display the corresponding application window in full screen.

[0061] For another example, in the scenario of a notification message control, the opening operation may be a drag operation, such as dragging the bar below the message notification control on a mobile phone to open the application window corresponding to the notification message in full screen mode. In addition, a specific control may be opened by double-clicking or more clicks, sliding, long pressing, short pressing, finger joint tapping, or pupil gaze, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific opening operation.

[0062] In the above embodiments, the electronic device can be described using a mobile phone as an example, and the description is made using a single screen as an example. In some embodiments, the electronic device can be a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer or other electronic device, and the screen of the electronic device can be a single screen, a folding screen, a curved screen, etc., which is not limited here.

[0063] The window display method of the embodiment of the present application is described below in conjunction with the specific structure of the electronic device.

[0064] Figure 5 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 may include a processor 110, an external memory interface 120, an internal memory 121, a universal serial bus (USB) connector 130, a charging management module 140, a power management module 141, a battery 142, an antenna 1, an antenna 2, a mobile communication module 150, a wireless communication module 160, an audio module 170, a speaker 170A, a receiver 170B, a microphone 170C, an earphone interface 170D, a sensor module 180, a button 190, a motor 191, an indicator 192, a camera 193, a display screen 194, and a subscriber identification module (SIM) card interface 195. The sensor module 180 may include a pressure sensor 180A, a gyroscope sensor 180B, an air pressure sensor 180C, a magnetic sensor 180D, an acceleration sensor 180E, a distance sensor 180F, a proximity light sensor 180G, a fingerprint sensor 180H, a temperature sensor 180J, a touch sensor 180K, an ambient light sensor 180L, a bone conduction sensor 180M, etc.

[0065] It is to be understood that the structure illustrated in the embodiment of the present invention does not constitute a specific limitation on the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine some components, or separate some components, or arrange the components differently. The components shown in the figure may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0066] The processor 110 may include one or more processing units, for example, the processor 110 may include an application processor (application processor, AP), a modem processor, a graphics processor (graphics processing unit, GPU), an image signal processor (image signal processor, ISP), a controller, a video codec, a digital signal processor (digital signal processor, DSP), a baseband processor, and / or a neural-network processing unit (neural-network processing unit, NPU), etc. Among them, different processing units may be independent devices or integrated in one or more processors.

[0067] The processor 110 can generate an operation control signal according to the instruction operation code and the timing signal to complete the control of fetching and executing instructions.

[0068] The processor 110 may also be provided with a memory for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory. The memory may store instructions or data that the processor 110 has just used or cyclically used. If the processor 110 needs to use the instruction or data again, it may be directly called from the memory. This avoids repeated access, reduces the waiting time of the processor 110, and thus improves the efficiency of the system.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the processor 110 receives an opening operation for a specific control, for example, a click operation for an application in a sidebar, the processor determines whether the current screen is a desktop background, and if so, the processor 110 controls the display screen 194 to display the corresponding application window in full screen, so as to meet the visual experience of preferring to display the application window in full screen under the desktop background.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the processor 110 may control the display screen 194 to display the application window in the form of a floating window when it is determined that the current interface is not the desktop background. In other embodiments, after determining that there is an application running on the screen, the processor 110 may further determine whether the running application is an application in the whitelist. If it is an application in the whitelist, the display screen 194 may also be controlled to display the application clicked in the sidebar in full screen.

[0071] It is understandable that the interface connection relationship between the modules illustrated in the embodiment of the present invention is only a schematic illustration and does not constitute a structural limitation on the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may also adopt different interface connection methods in the above embodiments, or a combination of multiple interface connection methods.

[0072] The electronic device 100 implements the display function through a GPU, a display screen 194, and an application processor. The GPU is a microprocessor for image processing, which connects the display screen 194 and the application processor. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. The processor 110 may include one or more GPUs that execute program instructions to generate or change display information.

[0073] The display screen 194 is used to display images, videos, etc. The display screen 194 includes a display panel. The display panel can be a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode or an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), Miniled, MicroLed, Micro-oLed, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED), etc. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include 1 or N display screens 194, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0074] In one embodiment, the display screen 194 implements full screen display and floating window display according to the control instruction of the processor 110 .

[0075] The internal memory 121 can be used to store computer executable program codes, and the executable program codes include instructions. The internal memory 121 may include a program storage area and a data storage area. Among them, the program storage area may store an operating system, an application required for at least one function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.), etc. The data storage area may store data created during the use of the electronic device 100 (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.), etc. In addition, the internal memory 121 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash storage (UFS), etc. The processor 110 executes various functional applications and data processing of the electronic device 100 by running instructions stored in the internal memory 121, and / or instructions stored in a memory provided in the processor.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present application, the internal memory 121 may store instructions for a window display method, and the processor 110 executes the window display method instructions so that the display screen 194 of the electronic device 100 displays the application window in full screen or in a floating window after receiving an opening operation for a specific control application from the user.

[0077] The pressure sensor 180A is used to sense the pressure signal and can convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor 180A can be set on the display screen 194. There are many types of pressure sensors 180A, such as resistive pressure sensors, inductive pressure sensors, capacitive pressure sensors, etc. The capacitive pressure sensor can be a parallel plate including at least two conductive materials. When a force acts on the pressure sensor 180A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. The electronic device 100 determines the intensity of the pressure according to the change in capacitance. When a touch operation acts on the display screen 194, the electronic device 100 detects the touch operation intensity according to the pressure sensor 180A. The electronic device 100 can also calculate the touch position according to the detection signal of the pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations acting on the same touch position but with different touch operation intensities can correspond to different operation instructions. For example: when a touch operation with a touch operation intensity less than the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon, an instruction to view the short message is executed. When a touch operation with a touch operation intensity greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon, an instruction to create a new short message is executed.

[0078] In some embodiments, after the user drags or clicks a specific control on the display screen 194, the pressure sensor 180A is used to sense the pressure signal of the user on the specific control, and can convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal, so that the processor 110 can display the application window in full screen or in floating window form on the display screen 194 according to the user's operation on the specific control.

[0079] The touch sensor 180K is also called a "touch control device". The touch sensor 180K can be set on the display screen 194. The touch sensor 180K and the display screen 194 form a touch screen, also called a "touch control screen". The touch sensor 180K is used to detect touch operations acting on or near it. The touch sensor can pass the detected touch operation to the application processor to determine the type of touch event. Visual output related to the touch operation can be provided through the display screen 194. In other embodiments, the touch sensor 180K can also be set on the surface of the electronic device 100, which is different from the position of the display screen 194.

[0080] In some embodiments, in some embodiments, when a user touches an application or a horizontal bar in a specific control of display screen 194 and performs operations such as swiping up, swiping down, and clicking, the processor 110 receives the user's operation on the specific control of display screen 194, and in response to the operation, controls display screen 194 to provide visual output related to the touch operation.

[0081] The software system of the electronic device 100 may adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-core architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the embodiment of the present invention, the Android system of the layered architecture is taken as an example to exemplify the software structure of the electronic device 100.

[0082] Figure 6 1 is a software structure block diagram of the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0083] The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each with clear roles and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom: the application layer, the application framework layer, the Android runtime and system library, and the kernel layer.

[0084] The application layer can include a series of application packages.

[0085] like Figure 6 As shown, the application package may include camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, video, short message and other applications.

[0086] The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (API) and a programming framework for the applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

[0087] like Figure 6 As shown, the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like.

[0088] The window manager is used to manage window programs. The window manager can obtain the display screen size, determine whether there is a status bar, lock the screen, capture the screen, etc.

[0089] Content providers are used to store and retrieve data and make it accessible to applications. The data can include videos, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc.

[0090] The view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text, controls for displaying images, etc. The view system can be used to build applications. A display interface can be composed of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a text notification icon can include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying images.

[0091] The notification manager enables applications to display notification information in the status bar. It can be used to convey notification-type messages and can disappear automatically after a short stay without user interaction. For example, the notification manager is used to notify download completion, message reminders, etc. The notification manager can also be a notification that appears in the system top status bar in the form of a chart or scroll bar text, such as notifications of applications running in the background, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, a text message is displayed in the status bar, a prompt sound is emitted, an electronic device vibrates, an indicator light flashes, etc.

[0092] In one embodiment of the present application, the user can interact with the notification manager. The notification manager can interact with the user through the user's operation of the horizontal bar on the notification message bar, and determine the information that the user needs to open the application, so that the window manager can confirm the size of the window display.

[0093] The following is an illustrative description of the workflow of the software and hardware of the electronic device 100 in conjunction with a split-screen scenario.

[0094] When the touch sensor 180K receives a touch operation, the corresponding hardware interrupt is sent to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the touch operation into raw input events (including touch coordinates, timestamp of the touch operation, and other information). The raw input events are stored in the kernel layer. The application framework layer obtains the raw input events from the kernel layer and identifies the control corresponding to the input event. Assuming that the touch operation is a single-click operation, the control corresponding to the single-click operation is the camera application in the sidebar. The camera application calls the interface of the application framework layer to start the camera application, and then starts the camera driver by calling the kernel layer, displays the shooting window in full screen, and captures static images or videos through the camera 193.

[0095] The following uses a mobile phone as an example to describe in detail the window display method provided by the embodiment of the present application. A plurality of applications are installed in the mobile phone. The window display method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a mobile phone having the following features: Figure 5 The hardware structure shown in Figure 6 In an electronic device with the software structure shown in the figure, or with more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or with some components combined, or some components separated, or with different component arrangements, etc., and with similar hardware structures and software structures.

[0096] The following uses a mobile phone as an example to describe in detail the method for displaying a window according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0097] refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 A flow chart of a method for displaying a window according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method is executed by a mobile phone and includes S701-S705.

[0098] S701, display a specific control on the screen.

[0099] It should be noted that the specific controls in the embodiments of the present application may be sidebars on the left and right sides of the screen. It may also be a pop-up notification message control. It may be a floating ball formed after the open application is reduced, or it may be the application control (application icon) itself. In addition, in some embodiments, it may also be a recent task, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0100] In an embodiment of the present application, the condition for triggering the mobile phone to execute S701 may be that the mobile phone receives a slide from the left edge or right edge of the screen to the inside of the screen, and triggers the sidebar (specific control) to be displayed from the left side of the mobile phone, or from the right side of the mobile phone. Alternatively, the mobile phone receives a zoom-out operation for opening an application, which triggers the display of a floating ball (specific control). Alternatively, after the mobile phone receives an application message, a notification message bar (specific control) automatically pops up. This application does not limit the triggering conditions.

[0101] S702: Receive an opening operation for a specific control.

[0102] Among them, the opening operation can be a click (including single-click, double-click, and multiple clicks), or it can be a drag operation after pressing the control, for example, pressing the horizontal bar below the notification message control and dragging (pull down) to open the selected application. The above-mentioned different operations can open applications for different specific controls. For example, in a scenario where the sidebar is a specific control, the corresponding opening operation can be a click operation on the application icon in the sidebar. For another example, in a scenario where the floating ball is a specific control, the corresponding opening operation can be a click operation on the floating ball itself, or a click operation on the application corresponding to the floating ball. For another example, in the scenario where a notification message pops up, the corresponding opening operation can be a drag operation on the horizontal bar below the notification message bar.

[0103] S703: In response to the opening operation, determine whether the current display interface background is the desktop background.

[0104] In an embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone can determine whether it is the desktop background according to the running status of the application window in the mobile phone interface. For example, if the mobile phone determines that there is an application window running in the current interface, it indicates that the current interface is not the desktop background. If the mobile phone determines that there is no running application window, it indicates that the current interface is the desktop background.

[0105] In 703, when the mobile phone determines that it is the desktop background, S704 is executed to display the application window (content of the application) corresponding to the specific control in full screen.

[0106] In 703, the mobile phone determines that it is not the desktop background (non-desktop background), and then executes S705 to display the application window corresponding to the specific control in a floating window manner.

[0107] According to the window display method of the embodiment of the present application, when the desktop is the background, the application window is opened in full screen, and when the desktop is used as the background, this window display method meets the user's preference to display the application in full screen mode when the desktop is used as the background, and also meets the natural viewing angle range of the human eye. At the same time, when the desktop is not used as the background, the floating window is opened, and the application window that is already running can be partially covered. Different displays for the same operation are provided according to different interface backgrounds, thereby improving the user experience.

[0108] It should be noted that the above-mentioned display of application content in full screen mode under the desktop background is only an exemplary description of the present application. In some embodiments of the present application, the user can decide to display the application content in full screen mode under these interface backgrounds by setting the interface background. For example, when the interface background is not the desktop background, the user can set some applications to be allowed to be overwritten through settings, and the scene with the application running can still display the application window in full screen. For example, when there is an alarm clock application window, weather application window, calculator application window or music type application window running on the current screen, the mobile phone also displays it in full screen mode for the application window corresponding to the specific control. These applications that are allowed to be overwritten can be set through the whitelist, and the user can add these applications to the whitelist that allows full-screen display.

[0109] refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing another window display method of an embodiment of the present application. The method is executed by a mobile phone, such as Figure 8 As shown, the method includes S801-S806.

[0110] S801, displaying a specific control on the screen. This step corresponds to Figure 7 For details, please refer to the description in Figure 701.

[0111] S802, receiving an open operation for a specific control. This step corresponds to Figure 7 For details about 702 in FIG. 702 , please refer to the description in FIG. 702 .

[0112] S803, in response to the opening operation, determining whether the current display interface background is the desktop background. Figure 7 For details, please refer to the description in Figure 703.

[0113] In S803, when it is determined that it is the desktop background, S804 is executed to display the application window corresponding to the specific control in full screen.

[0114] In S803, when it is determined that it is not the desktop background, that is, there is an application window running in the interface, it is necessary to further determine whether it is an application in the whitelist, that is, execute S805.

[0115] S805: Determine whether the running application is an application in the whitelist.

[0116] If so, execute S806 to display the application window in full screen.

[0117] If not, then execute S804 to display the application window corresponding to the specific control in a floating window manner.

[0118] According to the window display method of the embodiment of the present application, the application can be displayed in full screen as much as possible to adapt to the user's usage preferences, while also conforming to the natural viewing angle range of the human eye, thereby improving the user experience.

[0119] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in combination with interface operations in several different scenarios. Figure 7 and Figure 8 Describes how to display the window in .

[0120] Scenario 1: Open the application through the sidebar.

[0121] refer to Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the operation interface of a user opening an application window through the sidebar under the desktop background. Figure 7 As shown in the method. Fig. 9 As shown in (a) of FIG. 9 , in the interface 910, the desktop background is displayed. When the user opens an application through the sidebar, the user slides inward from the edge of the screen to call up the sidebar. Fig. 9 As shown in (b) in FIG. 9 , a sidebar (a pop-up application bar) is displayed in the interface 920. When the user clicks on the “Calculator” application in the sidebar, the mobile phone recognizes that the current application is the desktop background and displays the application in full screen. Fig. 9 As shown in (c) in the interface 930, the application window corresponding to the calculator application is displayed in full screen.

[0122] refer to Fig.10 , Fig.10 The schematic diagram of the operation interface of a user opening an application window through a sidebar in a non-desktop background is shown. Fig.10 As shown in (a) in the interface 1010, a video application window is already running. When the user clicks the "Calculator" application in the sidebar, the mobile phone will determine that the current background is not the desktop background, and open the application in the form of a floating window. Fig.10 As shown in (b) in the interface 1020, the window corresponding to the calculator is displayed on the video application window in the form of a floating window 1021. Thus, different windows can be displayed according to different interface backgrounds, and displayed in full screen as much as possible to meet the more comfortable visual experience of full screen display. At the same time, when there are running application windows on the interface, two applications can be displayed in a superimposed manner so that the user can see two running application windows at the same time.

[0123] In some embodiments of the present application, the user can add some applications to the whitelist through settings, so that when the application in the whitelist is already running on the screen, the user clicks the application icon in the sidebar and the phone can display the application window in full screen.

[0124] refer to Fig.11 , Fig.11 A schematic diagram of the application whitelist interface is shown. Fig.11 As shown, after the user opens the settings application, open the "Full screen display background application whitelist" to obtain interface 1110. In interface 1110, the user can set the applications that are allowed to be covered and displayed in the list, such as "Alarm Clock", "Calculator", "Music" and "Weather" applications. By adding applications to the list, the user can also add other applications through the "Add" function key, or delete the applications through the "Remove" function key, giving the user room to choose freely. When the phone is performing the operation of opening in the form of a floating window, if it is determined that the application running on the screen is an application in the whitelist, the phone will still display the selected application window in full screen. This process can be referred to Figure 8 The method shown and reference Fig.12 Schematic diagram of the interface operation.

[0125] like Fig.12 The following is a schematic diagram of the interface operation of the whitelisted applications during runtime. Fig.12 As shown, in the interface 1210, there is already a calculator application window running in full screen, and the user swipes from the right side of the screen to call up the sidebar, such as Fig.12 As shown in (b) in the interface 1220, the user clicks on the "Gallery" application in the sidebar. At this time, the mobile phone determines that the currently running application is an application in the whitelist, and still displays it in full screen. Fig.12 As shown in (c) of FIG. 12, in the interface 1230, the application window corresponding to the gallery is displayed in full screen. This process corresponds to Figure 8 The method shown.

[0126] Scenario 2: Open the application through the pop-up notification message bar.

[0127] Usually, when an application in a mobile phone receives a message, the mobile phone will display at least part of the application message in the notification message bar in a pop-up manner to remind the user that there is an application message. The user can also view the message directly from the notification message bar, or open the application window corresponding to the message by opening it.

[0128] refer to Fig.13 , Fig.13 The following is a schematic diagram showing the interface operation of opening an application window from the notification message bar. Fig.13 As shown in (a) of FIG. 13 , in interface 1310, a notification message bar 1311 pops up under the desktop background, and the content in the notification message bar is "1 contact sent 1 message". If the user wants to open the application to view the message, by pressing and holding the horizontal bar 1311 and pulling down (dragging), the mobile phone recognizes that the current application is the desktop background, and then displays the message application window in full screen, as shown in FIG. Fig.13 In interface 1320, the chat interface window corresponding to the WeChat application is displayed in full screen, which is convenient for users to reply to messages in time. And the full screen display improves the user's visual experience.

[0129] In one embodiment of the present application, Fig.13 In the corresponding scenario, if there is an application running in the interface 1310, when the user operates the horizontal bar 1311, the window will be displayed in the form of a floating window. The window display form of the floating window can be referred to Fig.10 The WeChat application window is displayed in the form of a floating window as shown in (b). No more examples are given here. In addition, this scenario can also be judged by the application in the whitelist. For the setting of the whitelist, please refer to Fig.11 As shown, the judgment process can refer to Figure 8 The method shown is not repeated here.

[0130] Scene 3: Opening the application through the floating ball.

[0131] In this scenario, when the user opens the application window in the form of a small window, for example, the user opens the application window through the sidebar and then minimizes the application window, the application window will be displayed in the interface in the form of a floating ball.

[0132] refer to Fig.14 , Fig.14 The following is a schematic diagram showing the interface operation of opening an application window with a floating ball in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.14 As shown, the interface 1410 displays a floating ball 1411 formed by shrinking the opened information application. When the user clicks the floating ball, the mobile phone determines that the current background interface is the desktop background, and then displays the SMS chat window in full screen. Fig.14As shown in (b) in FIG. 14 , the short message window is displayed in full screen on the interface 1420. Of course, the floating ball can be located at any position on the screen, and the present application does not limit the floating position of the side floating ball 1411.

[0133] In the embodiment of the present application, the SMS application can be directly clicked in the interface 1410 to realize full screen display of the application window, such as Fig.15 Another interface operation diagram of opening an application window with a floating ball is shown in FIG. 14. When a user clicks on a text message application corresponding to the floating ball 1411 in the interface 1410, as shown in FIG. Fig.15 As shown in (b) in the figure, the SMS application window is displayed in full screen.

[0134] In one embodiment of the present application, Fig.14 In the corresponding scenario, if the interface is not a desktop background, it can be opened as a small window.

[0135] In the scenario corresponding to 14, when the application running in the interface is an application in the whitelist, the application window can also be displayed in full screen. For details, please refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 The description in , will not be described in detail here.

[0136] The present application is also applicable to other scenarios. For example, when opening an application in the recent task, if there is no running application on the screen, the opened application is displayed in full screen. Or if there is an application running on the screen but it is a whitelisted application, the opened application can also be displayed in full screen. The present application is not limited to this.

[0137] According to the method of the embodiment of the present application, the display mode of the floating window is optimized, and the corresponding application can be opened in full screen mode in the desktop background or the application background in the whitelist. Compared with the existing floating window form, the present application can display the application window in full screen as much as possible, thereby improving the user's visual experience. At the same time, full screen display or floating window display can be performed according to the interface background status, thereby improving the user experience.
