[0062] 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.

[0063] refer to Figure 1FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a control method according to an embodiment of the present application, which can be applied to electronic devices with display devices, such as notebooks or tablet devices, etc. The technical solution in this embodiment is used to control the split-screen mode.

[0064] Specifically, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps:

[0065] Step 101: Obtain the device form of the display device.

[0066] The display device includes at least two display screens, such as a first display screen and a second display screen. The device form of the display device is determined based on the relative positions between the display screens included in the display device. For example, the first display screen and the second display screen form a first device form or a second device form by changing the relative positions. The first device form is different from the second device form.

[0067] Specifically, the first device form and the second device form are different in area. For example, the first area corresponding to the first device form is larger than the second area corresponding to the second device form. Figure 2 As shown in , the first region area is the display region area of ​​the display device in the first device form, and the second region area is the display region area of ​​the display device in the second device form. Based on this, in this embodiment, the display region area realized by the display device can be determined by obtaining the device form of the display device.

[0068] In one implementation, the second display screen is a scroll structure, for example, the display device is a scroll screen device. Based on this, in the second device form, the second display screen is hidden in the shell of the scroll structure, such as Figure 3 As shown in , in the first device form, the first display screen and the second display screen are visible.

[0069] In another implementation, the second display screen is a foldable flat panel structure, and the second display screen is foldably connected to the first display screen. Figure 4 As shown in , the second display screen is unfolded relative to the first display screen in the first device form, and the second display screen is folded relative to the first display screen in the second device form.

[0070] It should be noted that the first display screen and the second display screen are folded by adjacent edges. In the second device form, the second display screen is attached to the back of the first display screen, and the second display screen is opposite to the display surface of the first display screen. Figure 5 The second display screen is folded relative to the first display screen in two ways.

[0071] In one implementation, the second display screen is a slidable flat panel structure, there may be one or more second display screens, the second display screen and the first display screen are in an overlapping structure, and the second display screen is blocked by the first display screen in the second device form, such as Figure 6 As shown in , there is a second display screen on both sides of the first display screen, and the second display screen slides out relative to the first display screen in the first device form.

[0072] It should be noted that the first display screen and the second display screen can slide relative to each other through a slide, so that in the first device form, the second display screen slides to the back of the first display screen, and in the second device form, the first display screen slides out from the back of the first display screen. At this time, the second display screen is adjacent to the edge of the first display screen to form a whole display screen.

[0073] In one implementation, in this embodiment, a target instruction may be sent to a controller to which the display device is connected, so as to receive a device state of the display device fed back by the controller in response to the target instruction.

[0074] For example, the central processing unit (CPU) in the notebook sends a target instruction to the embedded controller (EC) and the basic input output system (BIOS). The target instruction is used to indicate the current device state of the notebook scroll screen, such as the roll out state and the roll in state. Based on this, the CPU receives the device state feedback from the EC and BIOS.

[0075] Step 102: In response to the display screen being in the first device form or the second device form, controlling the display device to be in a corresponding split-screen mode.

[0076] In the split-screen mode, the display device is divided into at least two display areas, and the display area is used to present at least one application window.

[0077] For example, Figure 7 As shown in , taking the scroll screen device as an example, the scroll screen device has a scroll-in state and a scroll-out state. In the scroll-in state, the scroll screen presents at least one application window in display area A. In the scroll-out state, the scroll screen presents at least one application window in display area A and display area B respectively.

[0078] It can be seen from the above technical solution that in a control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the display device is controlled to be in a corresponding split-screen mode by the first device form or the second device form in which the display device is located, and in the split-screen mode, the display device is divided into at least two display areas, and the display areas are used to present application windows. Since the first device form is different from the second device form, the split-screen mode corresponding to the first device form is different from the split-screen mode corresponding to the second device form. It can be seen that in this embodiment, size detection is not required, but the split-screen mode of the display device is controlled by the device form in which the display device is located.

[0079] In one implementation, this embodiment can also control the display device to switch from the first split-screen mode to the second split-screen mode in response to a split-screen switching operation for the first application window, and switch the first application window from the first display area to the third display area for presentation, and then switch the second application window from the second display area to display in the fourth display area.

[0080] Based on this, in this embodiment, the user only needs to perform a split-screen switching operation on the first application window, and the remaining second application window can be automatically presented to the corresponding display area without the user having to drag or perform other switching operations. This can reduce the user's operation process and improve the split-screen efficiency by reducing the operation complexity.

[0081] The first application window is an application window presented by a first display area in a display device, and the first display area forms a first split-screen mode with at least one second display area in a real device. The second display area presents a second application window. In the second split-screen mode, the display device is divided into a third display area and at least one fourth display area. The layout positions of at least two display areas are different between the first split-screen mode and the second split-screen mode.

[0082] For example, Figure 8As shown in , in the first split-screen mode, the first display area and the second display area are split left and right; in the second split-screen mode, the first display area and the second display area are split up and down. In the first split-screen mode, the user drags the application window 1 in the display area 1 to trigger the split-screen operation interface, and the split-screen operation interface presents window thumbnails corresponding to multiple split-screen modes, such as top-bottom split-screen, left-right split-screen, top two-bottom split-screen, top-bottom two-split-screen, etc.; then, the user drags the application window 1 to the upper area of ​​the top-bottom split-screen in the window thumbnail corresponding to the second split-screen mode, thereby, the display device switches from the left-right split-screen to the top-bottom split-screen, and the application window 1 is presented in the upper display area 3, while the application window 2 in the display area 2 is presented in the lower display area 4. In this process, the user does not need to drag the application window 2, thereby realizing one-key mode switching, reducing the user operation process, and thus improving the split-screen efficiency by reducing the complexity of the operation.

[0083] Based on the above implementation, if the number of display areas in the first split-screen mode is greater than the number of display areas in the second split-screen mode, then the application windows in each display area in the first split-screen mode can be switched to each display area in the second split-screen mode respectively, and the application windows in the remaining display areas in the first split-screen mode are switched to one of the display areas in the second split-screen mode, and presented tiled or layered with the existing application windows in the display area.

[0084] For example, Fig. 9 As shown in , in the first split-screen mode, the first display area and the second display area are split into two upper and one lower screens, and in the second split-screen mode, the first display area and the second display area are split into left and right screens. In the first split-screen mode, the user drags the application window 1 in the display area 1 to trigger the split-screen operation interface; then, the user drags the application window 1 to the upper left area of ​​the two upper and one lower split screen in the split-screen thumbnail corresponding to the second split-screen mode, thereby, the display device switches from the two upper and one lower split screen to the left and right split screen, and the application window 1 is presented in the upper display area 3, while the application windows 2 in the remaining two display areas 2 are tiled in the display area 4 on the right. In this process, the user does not need to drag the application window 2, thereby realizing one-key mode switching, reducing the user operation process, and thus improving the split-screen efficiency by reducing the complexity of the operation.

[0085] Based on the above implementation, if the number of display areas in the first split-screen mode is smaller than the number of display areas in the second split-screen mode, the application window in each display area in the first split-screen mode can be switched to each display area in the second split-screen mode respectively. At this time, there are display areas in the second split-screen mode without application windows.

[0086] For example, Fig.10As shown in , in the first split-screen mode, the first display area and the second display area are split into left and right screens; in the second split-screen mode, the first display area and the second display area are split into upper and lower screens. In the first split-screen mode, the user drags the application window 1 in the display area 1 to trigger the split-screen operation interface. After that, the user drags the application window 1 to the upper area of ​​the upper and lower split screens in the split-screen thumbnail corresponding to the second split-screen mode. As a result, the display device switches from the left and right split screens to the upper and lower split screens, and the application window 1 is presented in the upper display area 3, while the application window 2 in the display area 2 is presented in the lower left display area 4. There is no application window in the lower right display area 4. In this process, the user does not need to drag the application window 2, thereby realizing one-key mode switching, reducing the user operation process, and thus improving the split-screen efficiency by reducing the complexity of the operation.

[0087] In one implementation, in this embodiment, in response to a trigger display operation for the third application window, the third application window may be presented in at least a partial area of ​​the target display area.

[0088] In one case, the target display area does not present an application window in the display device. That is, in this embodiment, the newly opened third application window can be presented in an empty display area in the display device where no application window is presented.

[0089] For example, Fig.11 As shown in , in the top-bottom split-screen mode, the lower display area presents application window 1, and the upper display area does not present an application window. The user clicks the application icon of application 3 to start application 3, and application window 3 of application 3 is in the upper display area.

[0090] In another case, the relative position of the target display area in the display device satisfies the position condition. That is, in this embodiment, the newly opened third application window is presented in the display area at a specific position in the display device.

[0091] For example, Fig.12 As shown in , in the split-screen mode of top-two-bottom, application window 1 is presented in the lower display area, and no application window is presented in the upper left display area and the upper right display area. The user clicks on the application icon of application 3 to start application 3, and application window 3 of application 3 is in the specific upper right display area.

[0092] In another case, the relative position of the target display area in the display device matches the triggering display operation. That is, in this embodiment, the newly opened third application window can be presented in the display area specified by the triggering display operation in the display device.

[0093] For example, Fig.13As shown in , in the split-screen mode of up-two-down, application window 1 is presented in the lower display area, and no application window is presented in the upper left display area and the upper right display area. The user clicks the application icon of application 3 and specifies the upper left display area. Based on this, after application 3 is started, application window 3 of application 3 is displayed in the upper left display area.

[0094] In another case, the target display area is different from the fifth display area in the display device, and the fifth display area is used to display the application window of the first application. That is, in this embodiment, the newly opened third application window can be presented in any other display area in the display device except the specific display area.

[0095] For example, Fig.14 As shown in the figure, in the split-screen mode of up-two-down, the lower display area presents application window 1, the upper left display area and the upper right display area do not present application windows, but the upper display area is reserved for presenting application windows of office applications. The user clicks on the application icon of application 3, based on which, after application 3 is started, application window 3 of application 3 is in the upper right display area 5.

[0096] Based on the above implementation, in this embodiment, when presenting the third application window in at least a partial area of ​​the target display area, the following situations may be included:

[0097] In one case, in this embodiment, the third application window can be presented in the entire area of ​​the target display area. Figure 11 to Figure 14 As shown, the application window 3 occupies the entire area of ​​the display area.

[0098] In another case, in this embodiment, the third application window can be presented in the first sub-area of ​​the target display area.

[0099] The second sub-area in the target display area is used to present a fourth application window. The fourth application window is an application window presented by the target display window before the third application window is presented.

[0100] For example, Fig.15 As shown in , application window 3 occupies a left portion of the target display area, and application window 4 switches from occupying the entire target display area to occupying a right portion of the target display area.

[0101] In one implementation, when the display device is in the first device form, the display device is in a first split-screen mode.

[0102] In the first split-screen mode, a sixth display area is presented in the display device, and the sixth display area is used to present an application window of the second application, and the application window of the second application is used to present at least one application window.

[0103] In a specific implementation, the second application can build a container so that the application window of the second application can present the application windows of one or more other application programs.

[0104] In one case, the sixth display area is a display area of ​​the display device in the first device form expanded relative to the second device form.

[0105] For example, Fig.16 As shown in , the first device form is the rolled-out state of the scroll screen. In the rolled-out state, the rolled-out part of the scroll screen presents an extended area, and the extended area is adjacent to the original area presented by the scroll screen in the rolled-in state. The extended area is the display area 6, and the display area 6 is used to present the application window of the split-screen application. One or more application windows can be presented in the application window of the split-screen application. At this time, the original area of ​​the scroll screen, the display area 6 and the original area form the first split-screen mode, and the original area is used to present the application windows of one or more other applications.

[0106] In another case, the sixth display area includes: a display area of ​​the display device in the first device form extended relative to the second device form, and an eighth display area; the eighth display area is adjacent to the extended display area in the display device.

[0107] For example, Fig.17 As shown in , the first device form is the rolled-out state of the scroll screen. In the rolled-out state, the rolled-out part of the scroll screen presents an extended area, and the extended area is adjacent to the original area presented by the scroll screen in the rolled-in state. The extended area and the part of the area adjacent to it in the original area, namely the display area 8, constitute the display area 6. The display area 6 is used to present the application window of the split-screen application. One or more application windows can be presented in the application window of the split-screen application. Other areas in the original area except the display area 8 are used to present one or more application windows.

[0108] Based on the above implementation, in this embodiment, in response to a layout switching operation for the first split-screen mode, the display device may be controlled to switch from the first window layout to the second window layout.

[0109] The first layout position matches the second layout position. The first layout position is: the layout position of the sixth display area in the first window layout; the second layout position is: the layout position of the sixth display area in the second window layout. The first layout position matches the second layout position, which can be understood as: the first layout position and the second layout position have the same relative position in the display device. For example, the first layout position and the second layout position are both in the lower area of ​​the display device.

[0110] In a specific implementation, the layout switching operation refers to an operation of switching the window layout in the first split-screen mode.

[0111] For example, Fig.18 As shown in , when the scroll screen is rolled out, the scroll screen expands the display area 6. When the user switches the upper and lower window layout to the upper-lower-lower window layout in the first split-screen mode, the display area 6 where the split-screen application is located is always in the lower display area of ​​the scroll screen. The application window of the split-screen application in the display area 6 can present one or more application windows.

[0112] Based on the above implementation, in this embodiment, in response to the adjustment operation on the sixth display area, the area position of the adjusted sixth display area can be obtained, and then the presentation position of each application window in the sixth display area can be adjusted according to the area position of the adjusted sixth display area.

[0113] The adjustment operation refers to an operation of adjusting the area position of the sixth display area in the first split-screen mode. The area position here refers to the relative position of the sixth display area in the display device, and the area position can represent the area size of the sixth display area.

[0114] In one case, the application windows are stacked and presented in the sixth display area.

[0115] For example, Fig.19 As shown in the figure, the user adjusts the size and position of the display area 6, so that the display area 6 switches from occupying one-third of the entire screen to occupying one-half of the entire screen. As a result, based on the overlap of the two application windows in the display area 6, the top application window fills the display area 6, and the application windows in the display area 6 expand in size as the size of the display area 6 expands.

[0116] In another case, the application windows fill the sixth display area, and the application windows do not overlap.

[0117] For example, Fig. 20As shown in the figure, the user adjusts the size and position of the display area 6 so that the display area 6 switches from occupying one-third of the entire screen to occupying one-half of the entire screen. Thus, based on the fact that two application windows in the display area 6 do not overlap and fill the display area 6, the application windows in the display area 6 expand in size as the size of the display area 6 expands.

[0118] Therefore, in this embodiment, when the user adjusts the area position of the display area where the second application is located, the application window in the display area automatically adjusts the presentation position accordingly, and the user does not need to perform window adjustment operations. This can reduce the user operation process and improve the split-screen efficiency by reducing the complexity of operations.

[0119] Based on the above implementation, in this embodiment, the area position of the seventh display area may also be adjusted according to the adjusted area position of the sixth display area.

[0120] The seventh display area is any display area in the display device except the sixth display area. The seventh display area and the sixth display area fully cover the display device, and the seventh display area and the sixth display area do not overlap.

[0121] Further, after the area position of the seventh display area is adjusted, the area positions of the tiled application windows in the seventh display area are synchronously adjusted.

[0122] For example, Fig.19 and Fig. 20 As shown in the figure, the display device is divided into display area 7 and display area 6. When the area position of display area 6 is adjusted, the area position of display area 7 is adjusted synchronously, that is, the area size is reduced, and there is no overlap between display area 7 and display area 6. Furthermore, the window size of the application window in display area 7 is reduced synchronously.

[0123] refer to Fig.21 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of a control device provided in an embodiment of the present application, which can be deployed in an electronic device with a display device, such as a notebook or a tablet device, etc. The technical solution in this embodiment is mainly used to realize the control of the split-screen mode.

[0124] Specifically, the device in this embodiment may include the following units:

[0139] In one implementation, the mode control unit 2102 is also used to: adjust the area position of the seventh display area according to the adjusted area position of the sixth display area; wherein the seventh display area is any display area in the display device except the sixth display area; the seventh display area and the sixth display area fully cover the display device, and there is no overlap between the seventh display area and the sixth display area.

[0140] Among them, the sixth display area is the display area of ​​the display device in the first device form expanded relative to the second device form; or, the sixth display area includes: the display area of ​​the display device in the first device form expanded relative to the second device form, and the eighth display area; the eighth display area is adjacent to the expanded display area in the display device.

[0141] It should be noted that the specific implementation method of each unit in this embodiment can refer to the corresponding content in the previous text and will not be described in detail here.

[0142] refer to Fig. 22 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application, and the electronic device may include the following structure:

[0143] Display device 2201;

[0144] The processor 2202, such as a CPU or a graphics processor GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), is used to obtain the device state of the display device; in response to the display device being in the first device state or the second device state, control the display device to be in the corresponding split-screen mode;

[0145] In which, in the split-screen mode, the display device is divided into at least two display areas, and the display areas are used to present application windows; the first device form is different from the second device form, and the split-screen mode corresponding to the first device form is different from the split-screen mode corresponding to the second device form.

[0146] It can be seen from the above technical solution that in an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application, the display device is controlled to be in a corresponding split-screen mode by the first device form or the second device form in which the display device is located, and in the split-screen mode, the display device is divided into at least two display areas, and the display areas are used to present application windows. Since the first device form is different from the second device form, the split-screen mode corresponding to the first device form is different from the split-screen mode corresponding to the second device form. It can be seen that in this embodiment, size detection is not required, but the split-screen mode of the display device is controlled by the device form in which the display device is located.

[0147] In one implementation, the display device includes at least: a first display screen and a second display screen; the first display screen and the second display screen form the first device form or the second device form by changing relative positions, such as Figure 2 As shown in;

[0148] Among them, the area of ​​the first region is larger than the area of ​​the second region; the area of ​​the first region is the display area of ​​the display device in the first device form; the area of ​​the second region is the display area of ​​the display device in the second device form.

[0149] In one implementation, the second display screen is a scroll structure; Figure 3 As shown in , in the second device form, the second display screen is hidden in the housing of the scroll structure; in the first device form, the first display screen and the second display screen are visible;

[0150] In one implementation, the second display screen is a flat panel structure, such as Figure 4 Or as shown in 5, the second display screen is foldably connected to the first display screen; the second display screen is unfolded relative to the first display screen in the first device form; the second display screen is folded relative to the first display screen in the second device form;

[0151] In one implementation, the second display screen is a flat panel structure, such as Figure 6 As shown in , the second display screen and the first display screen are in an overlapping structure; the second display screen is blocked by the first display screen in the second device form; and the second display screen slides out relative to the first display screen in the first device form.

[0152] Taking the scroll screen device as an example, the technical solution of this application is described below:

[0153] The present application can monitor the relative status of the screen and the host, i.e., the device form mentioned above, through the coordination of software and hardware, and then dynamically adjust the window layout according to the relative status, i.e., the split-screen mode. In this way, more window layout designs can be met according to the device form, giving users a better experience.

[0154] Specifically, when the application implemented in this application (i.e. the split-screen application mentioned above) determines the preset layout of the upper-layer application App (application), it first sends a target instruction to the underlying EC and BIOS to detect the current rollin and rollout status. The status is returned to the split-screen application at the bottom layer, and the split-screen application adjusts the preset window layout template according to the status. As follows:

[0155] When the scroll screen is in the roll out state, the default is as follows Fig.23As shown in the figure, APP1, APP2 and APP3 are presented in corresponding positions with different window ratios according to corresponding window layouts. APP2 in the first two window layouts and APP3 in the third window layout can be split-screen applications, which are always in the lower area of ​​the screen and present one or more application windows through the constructed container.

[0156] When the scroll screen is in the roll in state, the default is as follows Fig.24 As shown in , APP1, APP2 and APP3 are presented at corresponding positions with different window ratios according to corresponding window layouts.

[0157] Furthermore, a container window is used in the split-screen application to uniformly place the application windows of each APP presented by it. When the size of the container window changes, the service corresponding to the container window will recalculate the sizes of multiple APP windows in the container according to the new position, and reset the APP window size by calling the relevant interface to adapt to the new layout.

[0158] like Fig.25 As shown in , the area where App2 is located is the container area. On the container area, a setting button with dynamically changing size can be set. App2 is placed in the container area.

[0159] For example, Fig.25 In the left window layout, when the user clicks the setting button, the container area receives the layout change instruction and re-arranges according to Fig.25 The size of App1 and App2 is recalculated based on the proportion of the right window layout. After the calculation is completed, the service program running in the background actively calls the window size setting interface of the operating system to set the size and position of App1, App2 and the container, so that the layout can be adjusted with one click, reducing the complexity of user operations.

[0160] In particular, the above is just an example. The actual process can be a layout of 3 App windows, or even a more complex layout, such as Fig.26 As shown in , the technical solutions in this embodiment can achieve one-key layout adjustment, reducing the complexity of user operations.
