These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information.

[0081] In recent years, there have been more and more types of large-screen terminals such as large-screen mobile phones and tablet computers, and their functions have gradually become rich, bringing great convenience to people's lives and work. For example, a tablet computer can provide a multi-window display mode, which is convenient for users to use multiple applications simultaneously. The so-called multi-window display mode means that the display screen is divided into multiple local areas, and each local area displays an application window, and the interface of the corresponding application program is displayed in the application window. In the related art, the tablet computer can adjust the mode, size, etc. of each application window in the multi-window display mode, but problems such as flickering and freezing often occur during the adjustment process, resulting in a decline in the user experience.

[0082] Based on this, in a first aspect, at least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides an application window control method, which can merge the image frames drawn by the application program into the layer animation of the application window during the adjustment process of the application window, realizing seamless switching before and after the adjustment of the application window, and no longer having problems such as flickering and freezing that affect the user experience.

[0083] Please refer to the appendix Figure 1, which exemplarily shows the process of an application window control method, including steps S101 to S102.

[0084] In step S101, in response to receiving a first adjustment instruction for an application window, a system preset mechanism is used to send the first adjustment instruction to the application corresponding to the application window, so that the application draws a first interface with the size and shape indicated by the first adjustment instruction frame by frame.

[0085] Among them, the application window is a part or all of the display screen of the terminal device (such as a tablet computer) that executes this method. For example, if the application window is in full-screen mode, then the application window is the entire display screen. Each application window in the display screen corresponds to an application. For example, the display screen includes application window 1 in the left half screen and application window 2 in the right half screen. Application window 1 corresponds to video application 1, and application window 2 corresponds to social application 2.

[0086] When the user performs an adjustment operation on the application window, a selection instruction and an adjustment instruction for the application window are often generated in sequence. For example, the user can perform operations of pressing, dragging, and lifting on the application window, and the application window is adjusted from full-screen mode to small-window mode and further adjust the size and ratio of the application window in small-window mode. Among them, when the user performs a pressing operation on the application window, a selection instruction for the application window can be generated, and when the user performs a dragging operation on the application window, an adjustment instruction for the application window can be generated. The adjustment instruction can be an instruction for indicating to change the mode of the application window and / or change the size and shape of the application window.

[0087] Based on the above analysis, it can be known that the user can pre-select the application window before adjusting the application window, that is, a selection instruction for the application window will be received before receiving the adjustment instruction for the application window. In other words, the selection instruction indicates that the mode, size, shape, etc. of the application window will be adjusted. Exemplarily, the method can also, in response to receiving the selection instruction for the application window, use the Transition mechanism to bring the layer of the application window to the top and associate it with the instruction for the application window. Among them, in the case where the instruction for the application window is generated by the user's touch operation on the display screen, the layer of the application window can be directly associated with the infinite gesture module that obtains the touch operation by using the Transition mechanism, so that the layer animation of the application window can be generated according to the touch operation collected by the infinite gesture module.

[0088] Based on the above analysis, it can be known that the first adjustment instruction can be used to indicate to change the mode of the application window or change the size and shape of the application window.

[0089] Preferably, when the first adjustment instruction is used to indicate changing the mode of the application window, this step may use the Transition mechanism (through the system service) to send the first adjustment instruction to the application corresponding to the application window, so that the application draws the first interface with the size and shape indicated by the first adjustment instruction frame by frame. It should be understood that when the first adjustment instruction is used to indicate that the application window switches from the full-screen mode to the small window mode, the size of the application window indicated by the first adjustment instruction is the maximum size in the small window mode, and the shape indicated is the shape corresponding to the operation that triggers the first adjustment instruction. When the first adjustment instruction is used to indicate that the application window switches from the small window mode to the mini window mode, the size of the application window indicated by the first adjustment instruction is the maximum size in the mini window mode, and the shape indicated is the shape corresponding to the operation that triggers the first adjustment instruction. When the first adjustment instruction is used to indicate that the application window switches from the mini window mode to the small window mode, the size of the application window indicated by the first adjustment instruction is the minimum size in the small window mode, and the shape indicated is the shape corresponding to the operation that triggers the first adjustment instruction. When the first adjustment instruction is used to indicate that the application window switches from the small window mode to the full-screen mode, the size and shape of the application window indicated by the first adjustment instruction are the size and shape of the display screen.

[0090] Preferably, when the first adjustment instruction is used to indicate changing the mode of the application window, this step may use the system preset mechanism (through the system service) to send the first adjustment instruction to the application corresponding to the application window, so that the application restarts and draws the first interface with the size and shape indicated by the first adjustment instruction frame by frame.

[0091] Preferably, when the first adjustment instruction is used to indicate changing the size and shape of the application window, this step may use the WindowOrganizer mechanism (through the system service) to send the first adjustment instruction to the application corresponding to the application window, so that the application draws the first interface with the size and shape indicated by the first adjustment instruction frame by frame.

[0092] In step S102, use the system preset mechanism to obtain the first frame of the first interface drawn by the application, and merge the first frame of the first interface with the layer of the application window, so that the layer displays the first frame interface.

[0093] Exemplarily, this step may merge the first frame of the first interface with the layer of the application window in the following manner:

[0094] First, generate a first-frame merging coefficient according to the size and shape indicated by the first adjustment instruction, and the size and shape of the layer of the application window. The first-frame merging coefficient can be used to characterize the difference between the size and shape indicated by the first adjustment instruction (i.e., the size and shape of the first interface) and the size and shape of the layer of the application window. For example, if the shape indicated by the first adjustment instruction is the same as the shape of the layer of the application window, the first-frame merging coefficient is the ratio between the size indicated by the first adjustment instruction and the size of the layer of the application window.

[0095] Next, merge the first-frame first interface with the layer of the application window according to the first-frame merging coefficient. For example, adaptively adjust the size, shape, etc. of the first-frame first interface using the first-frame merging coefficient and add it to the layer of the application window.

[0096] It should be understood that in the case where the layer of the application window is directly associated with the infinite gesture module that obtains the touch operation using the Transition mechanism in step S101, so that the layer of the application window generates a layer animation according to the touch operation collected by the infinite gesture module, this step can merge the first-frame first interface into the layer animation using the first-frame merging coefficient.

[0097] In some embodiments, the non-first-frame first interface can also be obtained and merged in the following manner:

[0098] First, obtain the non-first-frame first interface drawn by the application program (the non-first-frame first interface has the same shape and size as the first-frame first interface, both being the shape and size indicated by the first adjustment instruction). Process the first-frame merging coefficient according to the current size and shape of the layer of the application window, and the size and shape when the layer of the application window is merged with the first-frame first interface, to obtain the current-frame merging coefficient. For example, if the first-frame merging coefficient is the ratio between the size of the first-frame first interface and the size when the layer of the application window is merged with the first-frame first interface, the current-frame merging coefficient, that is, the ratio between the size of the non-first-frame first interface and the current size of the layer of the application window, can be determined according to the first-frame merging coefficient and the ratio between the current size of the layer of the application window and the size when the layer of the application window is merged with the first-frame first interface.

[0099] Next, according to the current frame merging coefficient, merge the first non-first-frame interface with the layer of the application window so that the layer displays the first non-first-frame interface. The merging of the first non-first-frame interface and the layer of the application window can be performed in the same way as the merging of the first first-frame interface and the layer of the application window. For example, in step S101, when the layer of the application window is directly associated with the infinite gesture module that obtains the touch operation by using the Transition mechanism so that the layer of the application window generates a layer animation according to the touch operation collected by the infinite gesture module, in this step, the first non-first-frame interface can be merged into the layer animation by using the non-first-frame merging coefficient.

[0100] As can be seen from the above embodiments, after merging the first first-frame interface and the layer of the application window, the layer of the application window can change in shape and size in response to an adjustment instruction triggered by a user operation, for example, presenting the change in the form of a layer animation. When the shape and size of the layer of the application window change, the interface of the application program can be added to the layer of the application window in the following manner:

[0101] In response to receiving a second adjustment instruction for the application window, and when the difference between the size and shape indicated by the second adjustment instruction and the size and shape indicated by the first adjustment instruction does not meet the preset condition (for example, the difference in size ratio is not greater than the ratio threshold, etc.), continue to obtain and merge the first non-first-frame interface into the layer of the application window in the manner provided by the above embodiments.

[0102] In response to receiving a second adjustment instruction for the application window, and when the difference between the size and shape indicated by the second adjustment instruction and the size and shape indicated by the first adjustment instruction meets the preset condition (for example, the difference in size ratio is greater than the ratio threshold, etc.), send the second adjustment instruction to the application program corresponding to the application window by using the system preset mechanism (such as the Transition mechanism or the WindowOrganizer mechanism) so that the application program draws the second interface with the size and shape indicated by the second adjustment instruction frame by frame; and use the system preset mechanism (such as the Transition mechanism or the WindowOrganizer mechanism) to obtain the first second-frame interface drawn by the application program and merge the first second-frame interface with the layer of the application window so that the layer displays the first second-frame interface. The merging of the first second-frame interface and the layer of the application window can be performed in the same way as the merging of the first first-frame interface and the layer of the application window, that is:

[0103] First, a second merging coefficient is generated according to the size and shape indicated by the second adjustment instruction, and the size and shape of the layer of the application window. The first-frame merging coefficient can be used to characterize the difference between the size and shape indicated by the second adjustment instruction (i.e., the size and shape of the second interface) and the size and shape of the layer of the application window. For example, if the shape indicated by the second adjustment instruction is the same as the shape of the layer of the application window, the second merging coefficient is the ratio between the size indicated by the second adjustment instruction and the size of the layer of the application window.

[0104] Next, according to the second merging coefficient, the first-frame second interface is merged with the layer of the application window. For example, the size, shape, etc. of the first-frame second interface are adaptively adjusted using the second merging coefficient and added to the layer of the application window.

[0105] It should be understood that in the case where the layer of the application window is directly associated with the infinite gesture module that obtains the touch operation using the Transition mechanism in step S101, so that the layer of the application window generates a layer animation according to the touch operation collected by the infinite gesture module, in this step, the first-frame second interface can be merged into the layer animation using the second merging coefficient.

[0106] As for the non-first-frame second interface drawn by the application, the non-first-frame second interface and the layer of the application window can be merged in the same way as the non-first-frame second interface and the layer of the application window are merged. That is:

[0107] First, the non-first-frame second interface drawn by the application (the non-first-frame second interface has the same shape and size as the first-frame second interface, both being the shape and size indicated by the second adjustment instruction) is obtained, and the first merging coefficient is processed according to the current size and shape of the layer of the application window, and the size and shape when the layer of the application window is merged with the first-frame second interface, to obtain the current-frame merging coefficient. For example, if the second merging coefficient is the ratio between the size of the first-frame second interface and the size when the layer of the application window is merged with the first-frame second interface, then the current-frame merging coefficient can be determined according to the second merging coefficient and the ratio between the current size of the layer of the application window and the size when the layer of the application window is merged with the first-frame second interface, that is, the ratio between the size of the non-first-frame second interface and the current size of the layer of the application window.

[0108] Next, according to the current frame merging coefficient, merge the non-first-frame second interface with the layer of the application window, so that the layer displays the non-first-frame second interface. The non-first-frame second interface can be merged with the layer of the application window in the same way as the first-frame second interface and the layer of the application window are merged. For example, in step S101, when the layer of the application window is directly associated with the infinite gesture module that obtains the touch operation by using the Transition mechanism, so that the layer of the application window generates a layer animation according to the touch operation collected by the infinite gesture module, in this step, the non-first-frame second interface can be merged into the layer animation by using the non-first-frame merging coefficient.

[0109] The application window control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can, in response to receiving a first adjustment instruction for an application window, use a system preset mechanism to send the first adjustment instruction to the application corresponding to the application window, so that the application draws a first interface with the size and shape indicated by the first adjustment instruction frame by frame; further, use the system preset mechanism to obtain the first frame of the first interface drawn by the application, and merge the first frame of the first interface with the layer of the application window, so that the layer displays the first frame interface. Through the system preset mechanism, the first frame of the picture drawn by the application can be merged with the layer of the application window, so that the picture frames drawn by the application can be merged into the layer animation of the application window, realizing seamless switching before and after the adjustment of the application window (such as mode adjustment and size and shape adjustment, etc.), and problems that affect the user experience such as flashing and freezing will no longer occur.

[0110] As can be seen from the above application window control method combining multiple embodiments, when a selection instruction is received, the Transition mechanism can be directly used to associate the layer of the application window with the infinite gesture module that obtains the touch operation, so that the layer of the application window can generate a layer animation according to the touch operation collected by the infinite gesture module; when the first adjustment instruction received indicates a change in the mode of the application window, the Transition mechanism is used to notify the application to restart and draw the interface according to the size and shape of the target mode (i.e., the mode indicated by the first adjustment instruction), and then the Transition mechanism is used to obtain the interface drawn by the application and merge it into the layer animation; further, when the first adjustment instruction received indicates a change in the shape and size of the application window, the Transition mechanism or the WindowOrganizer mechanism can be used to notify the application to draw multiple frames of interfaces in sequence according to the shape and size indicated by the first adjustment instruction, and then the Transition mechanism or the WindowOrganizer mechanism is used to obtain the above multiple frames of interfaces and merge them into the layer animation until a second adjustment instruction is received indicating a change in the shape and size of the application window, and the difference between the indicated shape and size and the shape and size indicated by the first adjustment instruction meets the preset condition, then the Transition mechanism or the WindowOrganizer mechanism is used to notify the application to draw multiple frames of interfaces in sequence according to the shape and size indicated by the second adjustment instruction, and then the Transition mechanism or the WindowOrganizer mechanism is used to obtain the above multiple frames of interfaces and merge them into the layer animation until an adjustment instruction indicating a change in the shape and size of the application window and the difference between the indicated shape and size and the shape and size indicated by the second adjustment instruction meets the preset condition is received, or an adjustment end instruction is received.

[0111] It should be understood that adjustment instructions for indicating a change in the shape and size of the application window may also be received between the first adjustment instruction and the second adjustment instruction. However, since the difference between the indicated shape and size and the shape and size indicated by the first adjustment instruction does not meet the preset condition, the application is not instructed to adjust the size of the drawn interface based on these adjustment instructions. Figuratively speaking, there are multiple gears for the shape and size of the application window, each gear is an interval of the shape and size, and the difference between the starting points of adjacent gears meets the preset condition; when the user adjusts the size of the application window through operation, the first gear indicates the application to draw the interface in the manner related to the first adjustment instruction (the adjustment instruction for indicating a change in the shape and size), and merges the interface into the layer animation. After that, each time a gear is crossed, the application is instructed to draw the interface in the manner related to the second adjustment instruction and merge the interface into the layer animation until an end adjustment instruction is received (i.e., the user ends the operation of adjusting the shape and size of the application window).

[0112] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first adjustment instruction is used to indicate changing the mode of the application window, the method includes the following steps:

[0113] Through the system preset mechanism, the gesture module without a pole takes over the layer of the topmost application window, so that the gesture module without a pole generates and updates the layer animation of the application window in real time;

[0114] In response to the gesture module without a pole triggering the switch from full screen dragging of the application window to a small window, initiate a window mode switching event through the system preset mechanism, and send the window mode switching event to the application corresponding to the application window, so that the application window draws a frame of the picture;

[0115] In response to receiving the application window drawing event, merge the application window drawing event with the layer animation, so that the layer animation displays the frame of the picture carried by the application window drawing event.

[0116] Please refer to the appendix Figure 2 , which shows the specific process of the above method as follows:

[0117] First, initiate the process of starting the Home through the Transition mechanism, and the gesture without a pole takes over the layer of the topmost application window.

[0118] Then, when triggering the switch to a small window from full screen dragging, initiate the window mode switching Transition again.

[0119] Then, when the window mode switching is completed, Transition will receive a callback notification of Merge, and the callback parameter will carry the drawing transaction Transaction of the application window. The drawing transaction Transaction represents a frame of the image drawn by the gear window content. Before being submitted, this frame of the picture will not be displayed.

[0120] Then, at this time, merge the two Transitions that are in the animation process, merge the window content frame into the current window animation that is being dragged, and submit it.

[0121] Finally, the window switch will be seamlessly completed during the dragging process.

[0122] It can be seen that through the Transition mechanism, the rendered frame of the application after transformation is merged into the gesture animation of the window module without a pole, realizing the seamless switching of the application window mode.

[0123] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first adjustment instruction is used to indicate changing the shape and size of the application window, the method includes the following steps:

[0124] During the dragging process, an application window change request is sent to the system service in real time through a system preset mechanism;

[0125] The system service sends the application window change request to the application corresponding to the application window;

[0126] The application window applies for layout update, content drawing, adds the first drawn frame to the application window drawing event, and sends the application window drawing event to the system service;

[0127] The system service notifies the infinite gesture module through the system preset mechanism, so that the infinite gesture module merges the first frame into the layer animation of the application window.

[0128] Please refer to the appendix Figure 3 , which shows the specific process of the above method as follows:

[0129] First, during the dragging process, a request for the latest Bounds change of the window is sent in real time through WindowOrganizer;

[0130] Then, the system service calculates and notifies the application that the size has changed.

[0131] Then, when the application program receives the notification, it will re-apply for layout update and content drawing.

[0132] Then, after the first frame of the application is drawn, this frame of picture transaction Transaction will be notified to the system service.

[0133] Then, the system service will notify the infinite gesture through WindowOrganizerController.

[0134] Then, the infinite gesture merges this frame of picture transaction into the window animation that is currently being dragged and submits it.

[0135] Finally, the change in window size will be seamlessly completed during the dragging process.

[0136] It can be seen that through the WindowOrganizer mechanism, the frame of the application after resize is merged into the infinite window module gesture animation, realizing seamless switching of continuous size changes of the application window.

[0137] The application window control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can, in response to receiving a first adjustment instruction for an application window, use a system preset mechanism to send the first adjustment instruction to the application corresponding to the application window, so that the application draws a first interface with the size and shape indicated by the first adjustment instruction frame by frame; and then use the system preset mechanism to obtain the first frame of the first interface drawn by the application, and merge the first frame of the first interface with the layer of the application window, so that the layer displays the first frame interface. Through the system preset mechanism, the first frame of the picture drawn by the application can be merged with the layer of the application window, so that the picture frames drawn by the application can be merged into the layer animation of the application window, realizing seamless switching before and after the adjustment of the application window (such as mode adjustment and size and shape adjustment, etc.), and no longer having problems such as flashing and freezing that affect the user experience.
