[0041] The following is a description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for clarity and conciseness, the description of well-known functions and structures is omitted in the following description.

[0042] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the main process of a method for locking an application window according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0043] Step S101: in response to monitoring a start instruction, creating a lock layer;

[0044] Step S102: obtaining the identifier of the application window displayed on the application window layer, and adding the identifier of the application window to the control panel corresponding to the locked layer;

[0045] Step S103: in response to monitoring a lock instruction for the identification of the application window on the control panel, the application window is moved to the lock layer for locking, so that the application window is displayed on the lock layer.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method for locking an application window is used to lock an application window on a terminal device to prevent misoperation of the application window and to display the content of the application window. The application window is a window of an application program for users to view and display content, such as a conference software. The operating system of the terminal device may be one of Windows system, macOS system, iOS system, Android system, etc., for example, Windows system.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method for locking an application window can be implemented by an application window locking device, such as a program for implementing the method for locking an application window. The monitored startup instruction is the startup instruction of the program, and after the program is started, a locking layer is created. The startup of the program can be started by the user based on actual needs, or can be based on the startup of the operating system. The locking layer is used to lock the application window, thereby preventing misoperation of the application window.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, creating a locked layer includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S201: Get the window handle of the system wallpaper layer;

[0050] Step S202: Obtain the size and position of the system wallpaper layer according to the window handle;

[0051] Step S203: according to the size and position of the system wallpaper layer, take the system wallpaper layer as the parent window, create a child window corresponding to the parent window, and take the child window as the locked layer.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present invention, when creating a locking layer, the window handle of the system wallpaper layer, that is, the identifier of the system wallpaper layer, is first obtained, and then the size and position of the system wallpaper layer are obtained based on the window handle, wherein the size of the system wallpaper layer may include the length and width of the system wallpaper layer, and the position of the system wallpaper layer may include the coordinates of any vertex in the system wallpaper layer, such as the coordinates of the lower left vertex. Then, according to the size and position of the system wallpaper layer, a child window of the parent window is created with the system wallpaper layer as the parent window, and the size and position of the obtained child window are the same as the size and position of the parent window, and the child window is used as the locking layer, that is, the size and position of the locking layer are the same as the size and position of the system wallpaper layer. Among them, the child window can be drawn based on the size and position of the system wallpaper layer, that is, the lower left vertex coordinates of the system wallpaper layer are used as the starting point, and the locking layer is drawn according to the length and width of the system wallpaper layer. The size and position of the locking layer are made the same as those of the system wallpaper layer, so that the locking layer can completely cover the wallpaper layer, and misoperation of the application window can be prevented.

[0053] When obtaining the window handle of the system wallpaper layer, you can obtain it by calling the API interface of the operating system. If the operating system is Windows, you can obtain the window handle of the system wallpaper layer by calling the API interface and using the FindWindows function, and then create a locked layer with the system wallpaper layer as the parent window.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the sub-window is used as the locked layer, the locked layer is set to be displayed transparently, so as not to affect the normal use of the user, so that the system wallpaper layer can be displayed normally.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, on a terminal device, taking the Windows system as an example, the main working layers of the system include the system wallpaper layer, the desktop icon layer, and the application window layer from the inside to the outside (i.e., the window Z order). Among them, the user can operate the desktop icon layer and the application window layer, but cannot operate the system wallpaper layer. Based on this, with the system wallpaper layer as the parent window, the locking layer created on the system wallpaper layer, the user cannot operate the locking layer, so that the application window in the locking layer cannot be operated by mistake. Among them, the locking layer is located between the system wallpaper layer and the desktop icon layer.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the application window is moved to the locking layer for locking, the method further includes: in response to monitoring an unlocking instruction for the application window on the control panel, unlocking the application window from the locking layer so that the application window returns to the application window layer.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, after creating a locking layer, the identifier of the application window displayed on the application window layer is obtained, and then the identifier of the application window is added to the control panel corresponding to the locking layer, and the control panel includes a window identifier list, that is, the identifier of the application window is added to the window identifier list. The window identifier list includes the identifier of each application window, the window size of the application window corresponding to each application window identifier, and the corresponding operation button. The operation button may include a lock button and an unlock button. Clicking the lock button may trigger a lock instruction, and clicking the unlock button may trigger an unlock instruction, so that the application window corresponding to the identifier of the application window in the window identifier list on the control panel can be locked and unlocked.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present invention, on the control panel, after a locking instruction for the identification of an application window is heard, the application window corresponding to the identification of the application window is locked, that is, the application window is moved from the application window layer to the locking layer, so that the application window is displayed on the locking layer. After the application window is locked, that is, when it is displayed on the locking layer, it does not affect the application program and the application window itself, and the application window is in a visible but inoperable state, that is, the user can see the content in the application window, but cannot operate the application window, that is, cannot operate the application window with the mouse, until the user unlocks the application window.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present invention, the identifiers of the application windows in the window identifier list on the control panel may be identifiers of visible application windows, and the identifiers of invisible application windows may not be added to the window identifier list.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, before adding the identification of the application form to the control panel corresponding to the locked layer, it is determined that the application form has an addable identification, or it is determined that the application form does not have a non-addable identification. The addable identification indicates that the identification of the application form can be added to the control panel, and the non-addable identification indicates that the identification of the application form cannot be added to the control panel. For example, one or more application forms can be set to not be added to the locked layer, so that the one or more application forms have a non-addable identification.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control panel also includes a display mode of the application window. Before moving the application window to the locking layer for locking, it also includes: in response to monitoring a selection instruction for the display mode on the control panel, determining the window size of the application window, so as to display the application window on the locking layer according to the window size of the application window.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control panel also includes a display mode of the application window. Before locking the application window, the display mode of the application window can be selected so that the application window can be displayed according to the display mode. After the display mode is determined, the window size of the application window can be determined, so that the application window can be displayed according to the window size. Among them, the display mode can be full-screen display or multi-screen display, and different display modes correspond to different window sizes of application windows.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present invention, the display mode is full screen display, and determining the window size of the application window includes: using the size of the locked layer as the window size of the application window.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the display mode is full screen display, after receiving the selection instruction of full screen display, the window size of the application window is determined according to the display mode of full screen display. When the display mode is full screen, the window size of the application window can be the same as the size of the locked layer, that is, the application window completely covers the locked layer, that is, the locked layer is tiled, that is, the size of the locked layer is used as the size of the application window. When the display mode is full screen, the product of the size of the locked layer and the preset scale factor can also be used as the size of the application window. For example, the preset scale factor can be between 0.8 and 1. When the full screen display is selected, at most one application window can be locked.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, the display mode is multi-screen display, and determining the window size of the application window includes:

[0066] Get the number of application windows corresponding to multi-screen display;

[0067] The window size of the application window is determined according to the number of application windows and the size of the locked layer.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the display mode is multi-screen display, the number of application windows to be displayed in the multi-screen display is determined. The multi-screen display is a multi-split screen display, such as a four-split screen display, a nine-split screen display, etc. The number of application windows corresponding to the multi-split screen display is equal to the number of split screens of the multi-split screen display. After determining the number of application windows corresponding to the multi-split screen display, the size of the locked layer is divided according to the number of application windows, and the window size of each application window is determined. Then, each application window is displayed according to its corresponding window size to realize the multi-split screen display of the application window. If the four-split screen display is selected, the size of the locked layer is divided into four parts. If the size of the locked layer is 1960*1080, the size of each split screen after the four-split screen is 980*530, that is, in the four-split screen display mode, four application windows can be locked, and the size of each application window is 980*530. If the nine-split screen display is selected, nine application windows can be locked, and the size of the locked layer is divided into nine parts, and the size of each split screen is determined as the window size of each application window.

[0069] After determining the window size of the application window according to the display mode, after listening to the locking command for the application window on the control panel, the application window is moved from the application window layer to the locking layer to lock the application window, so that the application window is arranged in the locking layer according to the display mode; after listening to the unlocking command for the application window on the control panel, the application window is moved from the locking layer to the application window layer to unlock the application window and restore the application window to a normal state.

[0070] Figure 3 The following is a schematic diagram of an application window locking interface according to an embodiment of the present invention. The interface includes a system wallpaper layer, a desktop icon layer, and an application window layer. A child window is created with the system wallpaper layer as the parent window. The child window is the locking layer. The system wallpaper layer and the locking layer have the same size and position, that is, the system wallpaper layer and the locking layer overlap, and the locking layer is displayed transparently. As shown in (a), application form A on the application form layer is obtained and displayed in the form name list on the control panel; application form A can be locked and unlocked through the control panel. When application form A is locked on the control panel, application form A is moved from the application form layer to the locking layer for locking, so that the application form is displayed on the locking layer, and application form A is in a visible but inoperable state; the display mode of application form A can be selected from the supported modes on the control panel, including four-split screen display, nine-split screen display and full-screen display. If full-screen display is selected as the display mode, a schematic diagram as shown in (b) can be obtained, that is, application form A is tiled on the locking layer; when application form A is unlocked on the control panel, application form A returns to the application form layer, and application form A can be operated.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method for locking an application window further includes: in response to monitoring a closing instruction of the system wallpaper layer, destroying the locking layer. Since the locking layer is created with the system wallpaper layer as the parent window, the response between the locking layer and the system wallpaper layer is synchronized, and thus after the system wallpaper layer is closed, the locking layer is destroyed. Alternatively, the locking layer may be destroyed in response to monitoring a closing instruction of a program, and the closing instruction is a closing instruction of a program that implements the method for locking an application window.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method for locking an application window further includes: in response to monitoring a movement instruction of the system wallpaper layer, moving the locking layer. That is, the movement between the locking layer and the system wallpaper layer is also synchronized, and the child window moves with the parent window, that is, the child window moves according to the moving direction and moving distance indicated by the moving instruction, and can be moved to the same position as the system wallpaper layer, or the center point of the child window can be at the same position as the center point of the system wallpaper layer.

[0073] The method for locking an application window of an embodiment of the present invention is to create a locking layer after listening to a startup instruction, then obtain the identifier of the application window displayed on the application window layer, and add the identifier of the application window to the control panel corresponding to the locking layer; after listening to the locking instruction for the identifier of the application window on the control panel, move the application window to the locking layer so that the application window is displayed on the locking layer to achieve the locking of the application window. The method creates a locking layer with the system wallpaper layer as the parent window, moves the application window to the locking layer, and locks the application window, so that the application window is visible but not operable, which can effectively prevent users from misoperating the application window, and does not affect the viewing of the content of the application window, effectively avoiding problems caused by misoperation and improving the user experience; the method can arrange multiple application windows on the locking layer according to the display mode of multi-screen display, realize the locking of one or more application windows, and meet the user's viewing needs for multiple application windows.
