[0068] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0069] As mentioned above, in the actual application of computer equipment, users sometimes need to use multiple different operating systems at the same time to meet different application needs. For example, using Windows system to meet office needs, using Android system to meet the development of various application software under the Android ecosystem, and using Linux system to meet open source application development, etc.

[0070] The prior art provides a variety of solutions to meet the above practical application needs. For example, in one existing solution, multiple computer devices are provided to users, each of which is loaded with a different operating system. Figure 1 As shown in the example, a personal computer, a laptop and a tablet are provided to the user, wherein the personal computer is installed with Linux system, the laptop is installed with Windows system, and the tablet is installed with Android system. When working, the user can choose different computer devices according to actual application needs. Figure 1 The solution shown requires the user to switch between different computer devices, which not only has high hardware costs, but also seriously reduces the user's work efficiency and provides a poor user experience.

[0071] To solve the above problems, the present application provides an operating system display method, which is applied to electronic devices. Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device is used as a host and is equipped with at least one display screen ( Figure 2 In the example of three display screens, the host machine is installed with a host operating system, such as a Linux system. It can be seen that the other two operating systems configured on the host machine are Windows and Android. Figure 2As shown, through the display method provided by the present application, it is possible to carry multiple operating systems on a host machine, effectively reducing hardware costs. Moreover, compared with the prior art of displaying multiple operating systems on the same display screen, in the present display method, each operating system is displayed in full screen on different display screens. The user can intuitively obtain the content of the corresponding operating system, saving the time wasted in switching between different devices, effectively improving work efficiency, and providing a better user experience.

[0072] Based on the above, see Figure 3 , the operating system display method provided in this application includes the following steps.

[0073] S100: Create at least one system carrier in a host operating system, and each system carrier runs a client operating system.

[0074] Virtualization technology is a technology that combines or differentiates existing hardware resources (such as processors, memory, and disk space) so that these resources appear as one or more operating environments, thereby providing a configuration that is superior to the original hardware resources. Virtualization technology can transform hardware resources into logically manageable resources to break down the barriers between physical structures.

[0075] Virtual machine technology and container technology are typical technical directions of virtualization technology. A virtual machine specifically refers to a complete computer system that runs in a completely isolated environment and has complete hardware system functions, simulated by software. Any work that can be done in a physical computer (i.e., the host machine) can be done in a virtual machine. Correspondingly, container technology, as another virtualization technology, is also called operating system layer virtualization. Container technology virtualizes the operating system kernel and allows user space software instances to be divided into several independent units. Each software instance is also called a container.

[0076] In view of the fact that both virtual machines and containers support the installation and use of independent operating systems, the operating system display method provided by the present application integrates virtual machine technology and container technology, that is, the system carrier described in this embodiment and any subsequent embodiments can be a virtual machine or a container. Of course, it can also be other virtualization technologies that can support the installation and use of independent operating systems. They will not be described in detail here one by one. Without exceeding the core idea of ​​the present application, they also fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, after the user starts the operating system display method provided by the present application through a specific operation, such as double-clicking the start icon, a user management interface is displayed to the user. The user management interface includes a selection space for virtual machines, containers, and other virtualization solutions. The user can select a virtual machine or container or other virtualization solutions as a system carrier according to his or her own application requirements. After determining the specific selected system carrier, the host machine responds to the user's creation operation and creates at least one system carrier in the host machine operating system.

[0078] In practical applications, as an optional implementation method, when the host operating system is a Linux system, the QEMU-KVM software architecture can be configured, wherein QEMU (Quick Emulator) is a virtualization system implemented purely by software, including a complete set of virtual machine implementations, including processor virtualization, memory virtualization, and virtualization of other hardware devices, and KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is an open source virtualization solution based on the Linux kernel. Its basic idea is to add a virtual machine management module on the basis of the Linux kernel. In existing applications, KVM only provides virtualization of processor and memory management. Therefore, KVM needs to use other tools to simulate devices. KVM and QEMU are combined to form the QEMU-KVM software architecture, in which KVM loads the virtualization of processors and memory, and QEMU is responsible for the virtualization of other devices that should be reduced, such as input and output devices. As for the specific creation process of the virtual machine, it can be realized by referring to the relevant technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0079] Correspondingly, the creation of containers can be implemented based on LXC (Linux Containers) technology. LXC can create a virtual execution environment in the host operating system. A virtual execution environment is a container. In actual applications, specific resources such as processors and memory space can be bound to the container, and independent network nodes can also be provided. As for the specific creation process of the container, please refer to the relevant technical implementation, which will not be described in detail here.

[0080] It should be noted that for the same host operating system, users can choose a virtual machine or a container as the system carrier according to application requirements, but cannot choose both a virtual machine and a container as the system carrier at the same time.

[0081] After the system carriers are created, an operating system, ie, a client operating system, may be installed in each system carrier. In actual applications, the client operating systems installed in each system carrier may be different from each other.

[0082] Furthermore, for a host machine that has completed the creation of a system carrier, the method may first identify information such as the installed client operating system and the specific number of configured display screens.

[0083] S110: Allocate a workspace to the host operating system and each client operating system respectively.

[0084] After the installation of the client operating system is completed, the host machine further allocates a workspace to the host operating system and each client operating system, that is, each operating system corresponds to a workspace, and the workspaces corresponding to the operating systems are different.

[0085] In an optional implementation, the Linux system is used as the host operating system, and multiple workspaces can be created based on the workspace division mechanism of the Linux system, and a workspace is allocated to each operating system. As for the specific implementation of the creation and allocation process of the workspace, reference can be made to the relevant technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0086] It is understandable that the host operating system runs before the client operating system. Assuming that the workspace corresponding to the host operating system is the first workspace, each system carrier is actually created in the first workspace. When executing this step, a workspace is allocated to each system carrier, that is, a workspace is allocated to each client operating system. In the case where no client operating system is created, it can be understood that the host operating system has not configured a workspace, and the hardware resources of the entire host belong to the host operating system. Of course, it can also be understood that only a unique workspace is pre-allocated for the host operating system.

[0087] S120: Determine the work area corresponding to each display screen based on the quantitative relationship between the work areas and the display screens.

[0088] There are three types of quantitative relationships between work areas and display screens: one is that the number of work areas is greater than the number of display screens, the second is that the number of work areas is equal to the number of display screens, and the third is that the number of work areas is less than the number of display screens. Under different quantitative relationships, the corresponding relationship between the display screens and the work areas is different. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the work area corresponding to each display screen according to the actual quantitative relationship. As for the specific determination of the corresponding relationship between the display screen and the work area, it will be detailed in subsequent embodiments and will not be described in detail here.

[0089] It can be understood that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the operating system and the workspace, that is, the number of workspaces created by this method is consistent with the number of operating systems loaded on the host machine. Therefore, the workspace corresponding to each display screen can also be determined based on the quantitative relationship between the operating system and the display screen. Correspondingly, the quantitative relationship between the operating system and the display screen is the same as the quantitative relationship between the workspace and the display screen. For details, please refer to the above content and will not be repeated here.

[0090] S130, displaying the operating system of the corresponding workspace in full screen on each display screen.

[0091] After determining the workspace corresponding to each display screen, the host machine displays the operating system of the workspace corresponding to the display screen in full screen on each display screen. Figure 2 As shown, the Linux system, that is, the host operating system, is located in the first working area, corresponding to display screen A. The client operating system includes Windows system and Android system, wherein the Windows system is located in the second working area, corresponding to display screen B, and the Android system is located in the third working area, corresponding to display screen C. After the above steps, the corresponding operating system is finally displayed in full screen on display screens A, B, and C.

[0092] It can be understood that the host machine is connected to each display screen respectively, and based on virtualization technology and the operating system display method provided by this application, it supports full-screen display of multiple different operating systems. To facilitate user operation, the host operating system and each client operating system can share other hardware resources of the host machine, such as input and output devices such as mouse and keyboard.

[0093] Furthermore, the method can also provide a hidden floating window control in each display screen, and share the host's USB device or printer and other external devices with each client operating system based on the transparent transmission function through the floating window control, so as to fully utilize the hardware resources. At the same time, since it is a hidden floating window control, it is in a hidden state when the user is not in use, which will not affect the user's use of each operating system. Furthermore, the floating window control is displayed on each display screen, and the user can choose the display screen closest to him or the most convenient to operate the floating window control in actual application, which is convenient and quick, and helps to improve the user's experience.

[0094] In summary, through the display method provided by the present application, it is possible to carry multiple operating systems on a host machine, support the integration and management of virtualization technologies such as virtualization and containerization on a single hardware, realize the simultaneous operation of multiple operating systems, and effectively reduce hardware costs. Moreover, compared with the prior art of displaying multiple operating systems on the same display screen, the present display method displays each operating system in full screen on different display screens, and the user can intuitively obtain the content of the corresponding operating system, saving the time wasted in switching between different devices, effectively improving work efficiency, and providing a better user experience.

[0095] Furthermore, the system carrier in the present method includes a virtual machine or a container, that is, it can support the installation of a client operating system based on virtual machine technology and container technology, and has a wider scope of application.

[0096] Furthermore, the support for multiple operating systems relies on virtualization technology. Based on virtualization technology, the hardware resource allocation of the host machine can be dynamically adjusted according to the real-time needs of the host operating system and each client operating system. This can not only meet the operating requirements of different operating systems, but also make full use of hardware resources.

[0097] The following introduces the optional implementation of the operating system display method provided by the present application in combination with the specific quantitative relationship between the workspace and the display screen.

[0098] When the number of workspaces is less than or equal to the number of display screens, the operating system display method provided by the present application may include the following steps: Figure 4 The following steps are shown.

[0099] S200: Create at least one system carrier in a host operating system.

[0100] In an optional implementation, the specific implementation of S200 can refer to Figure 3 The relevant contents of S100 in the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0101] S210: Allocate a workspace to the host operating system and each client operating system respectively.

[0102] In an optional implementation, the specific implementation of S210 can refer to Figure 3 The relevant contents of S110 in the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0103] S220: Determine a target display screen in at least one display screen according to the number of workspaces, and allocate a workspace to each target display screen.

[0104] When the number of workspaces is less than or equal to the number of display screens, the display screens are configured based on the number of workspaces to ensure that each workspace corresponds to at least one display screen. As mentioned above, in the present application, the operating system corresponds to the workspace one by one. Based on this, the workspaces can also be allocated according to the number of operating systems, that is, according to the number of operating systems, the target display screen is determined in at least one display screen, and a workspace is allocated to each target display screen, that is, an operating system is allocated to each target display screen.

[0105] Based on the above content, when the number of workspaces is equal to the number of display screens, all display screens configured by the host machine are used as target display screens, and each workspace corresponds to a target display screen. Moreover, due to the one-to-one correspondence, the target display screens corresponding to each workspace are different.

[0106] When the number of workspaces is less than the number of display screens, it means that some display screens may be idle. Based on this, assuming that the number of workspaces is M, where M is a positive integer ≥ 1, in an optional implementation, M of all display screens can be used as target display screens, that is, the target display screens for displaying the operating system are determined among all display screens according to the number of workspaces, thereby ensuring a one-to-one correspondence between the workspaces and the target display screens. As for the specific selection of the M target display screens, it can be determined in combination with the positional relationship of each display screen in the actual application scenario and the application requirements, and will not be described in detail here.

[0107] Furthermore, as mentioned above, when the target display screen is selected according to the number of workspaces, some display screens will be idle. Based on this, this embodiment defines the idle display screens other than the aforementioned target display screen in at least one display screen configured by the host machine as redundant display screens.

[0108] In actual applications, there may be workspaces that require multi-screen display. Of course, the workspace that requires multi-screen display can be any of the aforementioned workspaces, for example, it can be a workspace corresponding to the host operating system, or it can be a workspace corresponding to any client operating system. It can be understood that there is a unique correspondence between the operating system and the workspace. Therefore, the workspace that requires multi-screen display described in this embodiment can also be understood as an operating system that requires multi-screen display. For example, for the host operating system, there are multiple application software running on it. In actual applications, multiple users may need to view the running information of a certain application software, and multiple users are located in different locations. In this case, the same content can be displayed to different users through redundant display screens.

[0109] Based on the above content, as a preferred implementation, the method can also allocate a work area that requires multi-screen display to each redundant display screen when the number of work areas is less than the number of display screens. Based on this, each display screen corresponds to a work area, and each work area may correspond to one or more display screens.

[0110] S230, displaying the operating system of the corresponding workspace in full screen on each display screen.

[0111] In an optional implementation, the specific implementation of S230 can refer to Figure 3 The relevant contents of S130 in the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0112] In summary, the operating system display method provided in this embodiment can solve the display problem of each operating system when the number of workspaces is less than or equal to the number of display screens. It can also realize the installation of multiple operating systems on a host machine and the simultaneous operation of multiple operating systems, effectively reducing hardware costs. Users can intuitively obtain the content of the corresponding operating system, saving time wasted in switching between different devices, and effectively improving work efficiency. On this basis, the relationship between redundant display screens and workspaces can also be configured to achieve redundant display of some or even all workspaces, greatly improving the convenience of users viewing the operation of the operating system and helping to improve the user experience.

[0113] When the number of workspaces is greater than the number of display screens, the operating system display method provided by the present application may include the following steps: Figure 5 The following steps are shown.

[0114] S300: Create at least one system carrier in a host operating system.

[0115] In an optional implementation, the specific implementation of S300 can refer to Figure 3 The relevant contents of S100 in the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0116] S310: Allocate a workspace to the host operating system and each client operating system respectively.

[0117] In an optional implementation, the specific implementation of S310 can refer to Figure 3 The relevant contents of S110 in the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0118] S320 , determining a target workspace to be displayed preferentially according to the number of display screens, and allocating a target workspace to each display screen.

[0119] When the number of workspaces is greater than the number of display screens, the operating systems corresponding to all workspaces cannot be displayed at the same time. Therefore, it is necessary to configure the target workspaces that are displayed first based on the number of display screens, and assign a target workspace to each display screen, so that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the display screens and the target workspaces, ensuring that the operating system corresponding to the target workspace can be displayed on the corresponding display screen first.

[0120] Based on the above content, when the number of workspaces is equal to the number of display screens, all display screens configured by the host machine are used as target display screens, and each workspace corresponds to a target display screen. Moreover, due to the one-to-one correspondence, the target display screens corresponding to each workspace are different.

[0121] When the number of workspaces is greater than the number of display screens, it means that at least one workspace cannot be displayed at the same time. Based on this, it is assumed that the number of display screens is N, where N is a positive integer ≥ 1. Based on this, N workspaces among all workspaces can be used as target workspaces, that is, the target workspaces to be displayed first are determined among all workspaces according to the number of display screens.

[0122] In an optional implementation, each workspace created by the host is configured with a preset display priority. The host first obtains the preset display priority of each workspace, and then selects the first N workspaces as target workspaces in descending order of the preset display priority. Figure 2 As shown, the display priority of the workspace corresponding to the host operating system (Linux system) is the highest, the display priority of the workspace corresponding to the client operating system (Windows system) is the second highest, and the display priority of the workspace corresponding to the client operating system (Android system) is the lowest. When the host machine only includes display screen A and display screen B, the workspace corresponding to the host operating system and the workspace corresponding to the Windows system should be used as the target workspace, and a target workspace should be assigned to each display screen to ensure a one-to-one correspondence between the display screen and the workspace.

[0123] S330, displaying the operating system of the corresponding workspace in full screen on each display screen.

[0124] In an optional implementation, the specific implementation of S330 can refer to Figure 3 The relevant contents of S130 in the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0125] To sum up, the operating system display method provided in this embodiment can solve the display problem of each operating system when the number of workspaces is greater than the number of display screens. It can also realize the installation of multiple operating systems on a host machine and the simultaneous operation of multiple operating systems, effectively reducing hardware costs, while effectively improving user work efficiency, and ensuring that the operating system corresponding to the target workspace will be displayed first.

[0126] It can be understood that according to the method provided in the aforementioned embodiment of the present application, when the number of workspaces is greater than the number of display screens, selecting the target workspace according to the number of display screens will cause some workspaces to be unable to be displayed because there are no corresponding display screens, and the user will not be able to view the running status of the operating system corresponding to the corresponding workspace. Based on this, on the basis of the aforementioned embodiment, the present application provides another operating system display method, so that the user can switch the display of the operating system according to needs.

[0127] To facilitate the presentation of the scheme, Figure 5 On the basis of the illustrated embodiment, the first N workspaces among the workspaces created by the host, that is, the workspaces other than the target workspace, are defined as candidate workspaces. Further, in the case where the user needs to view the workspace that is not currently displayed, the user provides a first adjustment instruction to the host through one of the multiple display screens configured by the host, and the host determines a target candidate workspace to be displayed in at least one candidate workspace in response to the first adjustment instruction provided by the user, and at the same time, the obtained target candidate workspace is used as the target workspace of the display screen that receives the aforementioned first adjustment instruction, and the adjustment and replacement of the target workspace corresponding to the display screen is completed. Based on this, the host can display the operating system corresponding to the target candidate workspace through the display screen, so that the user can switch the operating system displayed on the display screen.

[0128] As an optional implementation, the target candidate workspace may be selected based on the preset display priorities corresponding to the workspaces. Specifically, among at least one candidate workspace, the candidate workspace with the highest preset display priority is determined as the target candidate workspace.

[0129] Furthermore, when the target workspace is selected in order of preset display priorities from high to low, after completing the adjustment and replacement of the target workspace corresponding to any display screen, the preset display priority of the replaced workspace should be the one with the highest display priority among the candidate workspaces. If the target workspace is still replaced according to the aforementioned rules, other candidate workspaces may be unable to be displayed for a long time. Based on this, as an optional implementation method, the replaced workspace may be temporarily not used as a candidate workspace before all workspaces are traversed. Only after all workspaces are traversed, that is, all workspaces that are not currently matched with the display screen are used as candidate workspaces again, and the aforementioned replacement and adjustment operation is repeated to ensure that the operating system corresponding to each workspace can be displayed.

[0130] Of course, the switching of workspaces (i.e., the switching of operating systems) can also refer to other rules, such as switching according to a preset cycle order, or switching according to the operating system load rate, etc., which will not be described in detail here. Unless it exceeds the core idea of ​​this application, it also falls within the scope of protection of this application.

[0131] As mentioned above, the operating system display method provided by the present application provides a floating window control at each display screen. On the basis of the specific aforementioned functions, the switching function of the displayed content and the power on and off functions of each workspace can also be integrated into the floating window control, so that the user can operate the corresponding workspace through any display screen, further improving the convenience of operation.

[0132] It is understandable that the number of workspaces being greater than the number of display screens is a more common application scenario. For example, when applied to a tablet computer, this type of host machine is usually only configured with one display screen. In this case, on the basis of supporting full-screen display of multiple operating systems, it is ensured that the user can easily and quickly switch the operating system displayed by the host machine, and ensure that the user can use any client operating system as conveniently as using the host operating system. This is particularly critical in practical applications. The operating system display method provided in the above embodiment of the present application can effectively solve this practical application demand. That is, when the workspaces are more than the number of display screens, the present application provides a workspace switching mode. By switching the workspaces according to the above method, the user can be provided with seamless switching between different operating systems, that is, the application needs of users operating different operating systems are met. At the same time, it can also ensure that each operating system has an independent display interface when displayed. Compared with the related technical solutions of displaying different operating systems in multiple windows on the same display interface, the user experience of this solution is better.

[0133] Furthermore, based on the display of different operating systems by the operating system display method provided in any of the aforementioned embodiments, the operating system display method provided in the present application also supports the adjustment of the operating system display mode. After the display of the operating system is completed according to any of the aforementioned embodiments, the host machine can further obtain the second adjustment instruction provided by the user, and adjust the work area corresponding to each display screen according to the obtained second adjustment instruction, that is, change the correspondence between the display screen and the work area, and after the adjustment, display the adjusted operating system of the corresponding work area in full screen on each display screen, thereby satisfying the user's switching of the display of the operating system on each display screen.

[0134] It is understandable that the display of the adjusted workspace can be implemented by referring to the relevant contents of the display of the workspace in the aforementioned embodiment, which will not be repeated here. This embodiment mainly introduces the implementation method of the host machine obtaining the second adjustment instruction. Correspondingly, the acquisition process of the aforementioned first adjustment instruction can also refer to this part of the content.

[0135] In an optional implementation, the host machine displays the user management interface on each display screen, combined with Figure 6a As shown in FIG. 1 , the user management interface includes a schematic diagram of the host operating system (Linux system) and each client operating system (Windows system and Android system). Figure 6a In the example shown, each operating system is displayed in the form of a thumbnail with subtitles. In actual applications, other content can also be selected to represent the corresponding operating system. This application does not specifically limit the representation method of each operating system in the user management interface.

[0136] The user can select any display screen to adjust the position of any operating system displayed in the user management interface. To facilitate the description of the solution, the following content defines the operating system selected by the user for position adjustment as the target operating system. In actual applications, the target operating system can be any one of the host operating system and the client operating system. Based on this, when the user adjusts the position of the target operating system through the user management interface provided by a certain display screen, the host machine can collect the user's position adjustment operation through the display screen, and then generate a second adjustment instruction based on the obtained position adjustment operation.

[0137] by Figure 6a The following scenario is used as an example. Before the user adjusts the operating system position, the display effects of each operating system on each display can be seen in Figure 2As shown, screen A displays the Linux system, screen B displays the Windows system, and screen C displays the Android system. Assume that the user adjusts the positions of the Windows system and the Android system through the user management interface displayed on screen B, and moves the position of the Android system forward. For example, the user can long press the schematic diagram of the Android system, and after activating the adjustable position state, follow Figure 6a By dragging the Android system icon in the direction indicated by the arrow, the positions of the Android system icon and the Windows system icon can be changed. The specific implementation of this position adjustment operation collection process can refer to the relevant technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0138] In the user management interface, the adjusted display can be seen in Figure 6b As shown, the position of the Android system has been swapped with the position of the Windows system. In response to the user's position adjustment operation, the host generates a second adjustment instruction to adjust the workspaces corresponding to display screens B and C, that is, to adjust the workspace corresponding to display screen B to the workspace corresponding to the Android system, and correspondingly, to adjust the workspace corresponding to display screen C to the workspace corresponding to the Windows system. After the adjustment, the host displays the operating system corresponding to each workspace in full screen according to the correspondence between the adjusted display screens and the workspaces. For specific display effects, see Figure 6c As shown, the Android system is displayed on display screen B, and the Windows system is displayed on display screen C.

[0139] In another optional implementation, a floating window control may also be displayed in each display screen. Based on the aforementioned embodiment, the floating window control further includes a system switching sub-control. The host generates a second adjustment instruction in response to a user triggering operation on the system switching sub-control in any floating window control. In actual applications, the system switching sub-control may have a variety of different switching functions, such as forward switching, backward switching, cyclic switching, automatic switching according to a preset switching cycle, etc., which will not be described in detail here. Without exceeding the core idea of ​​the present application, they also fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0140] In another optional implementation, the host machine is configured with an external input device, such as a mouse, a keyboard, etc. The host machine monitors the input operation of the external device and generates a second adjustment instruction based on the input operation obtained. In practical applications, an agent program can be deployed in each system carrier (the agent program execution operation is also part of the display method provided by the present application), and the agent program is used to monitor the input operation of each external input device. In practical applications, the second adjustment instruction can be triggered by setting a specific input operation. For example, when the user presses a combination of keys on the keyboard at the same time, a second adjustment instruction is generated. For example, when the user clicks the left mouse button, the user moves according to a preset movement trajectory, thereby generating a second adjustment instruction. Of course, other specific input operations can also be set, which will not be described in detail here. Without exceeding the core idea of ​​the present application, they also belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0141] Furthermore, the operating system display method provided by the present application also supports data sharing between different operating systems. The host operating system and any one of the client operating systems are used as the first operating system, and correspondingly, the host operating system and other operating systems other than the first operating system in the client operating system are used as the second operating system. The host can transfer the target data of the first operating system to the second operating system, so that the first operating system and the second operating system can share the aforementioned target data.

[0142] In an optional implementation, data sharing can be achieved by utilizing the clipboard function of the operating system. A user triggers a copy operation on target data in a first operating system, and the host machine responds to the copy instruction of the first operating system to store the target data in the clipboard. Furthermore, a user triggers a paste instruction in a second operating system, and the host machine responds to the paste instruction of the second operating system to paste the target data from the clipboard to the second operating system, thereby completing the copy operation of the target data from the first operating system to the second operating system and achieving sharing of the target data.

[0143] To summarize, the operating system display method provided in any embodiment of the present application integrates virtual machine and container technology to provide a unified and simple operating system management mode. Users can quickly and conveniently create system carriers, create different operating systems through system carriers, and realize different operating systems on the same host machine. Compared with the prior art, if you want to start virtual machines and containers at the same time, you must download and install their respective tool software and complete the configuration of corresponding parameters. The operating system display method provided by the present application can effectively reduce the user's learning cost.

[0144] Furthermore, when multiple virtual machines and containers are enabled at the same time, different operating systems are displayed through different windows on the same desktop. If the window is not displayed in full screen, it will not provide users with a smooth system experience, and the system will not be able to continue operating when the window loses focus. Through this method, each operating system can be assigned its own display screen, and each operating system can be displayed in full screen mode. When the user uses it, it is as if they are using it on a device with a real physical host system of Windows system or Android system, allowing users to perfectly experience different systems on the same hardware device, optimizing the user experience.

[0145] Furthermore, each display screen adopts a method of sharing external input devices, and provides a hideable floating window control, supporting functions such as USB device and shared printer transmission.

[0146] The present application also provides an operating system display platform, corresponding to the operating system display method provided in the above embodiment, combined with Figure 7 As shown, the operating system display platform provided by the present application includes an operating system display device, a user management interface and at least one agent program, each agent program is deployed in a corresponding system carrier, and the agent program can monitor the input operation of each external input device. Of course, the agent program can also realize other functions, which will not be repeated here. The user management interface and each agent program communicate with the operating system display device respectively.
