Method and device for changing pop-up window into tab page, equipment and medium

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a device for changing a pop-up window into a tab page, equipment and a medium. The method comprises the following steps: adding a parameter windowtab in browser startup parameters; when the windowtab is a set value, a label page is newly created according to chrome.windows.create provided by the Chromium kernel, and otherwise, an independent window is newly created; when the tab page is closed, only the currently active tab page is closed; according to the method, the pop-up box is opened in an additional tab mode by modifying a chromium bottom layer code, so that when a browser uses a synchronizer, it is guaranteed that the synchronization process is uniform and is not affected by a pop-up window.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of browser loading technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device, and medium for converting a pop-up window into a tab page. Background Technology

[0002] Existing browsers contain pop-up plugins whose position changes (top or bottom) depending on the zoom level. When using a synchronizer for browser testing, multiple browsers need to be opened on one screen for synchronization. However, the pop-up plugins interfere with the synchronizer's operation because they block other browsers, causing invalid clicks and rendering some browser operations ineffective. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method, apparatus, device and medium for changing a pop-up window into a tab page. By modifying the underlying code of Chromium, the pop-up box is opened as an additional tab, so that when the browser uses the synchronizer, the synchronization process is consistent and not affected by the pop-up window.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for converting a pop-up window into a tab page, comprising the following steps:

[0005] Step 1: Add a parameter `window_to_tab` to the browser's startup parameters;

[0006] Step 2: When window_to_tab is set, a new tab is created according to chrome.windows.create provided by the Chromium kernel; otherwise, a new independent window is created. When closing a tab, only the currently active tab is closed.

[0007] Secondly, the present invention provides an apparatus for converting a pop-up window into a tab page, comprising:

[0008] In the parameter settings module, add a parameter `window_to_tab` to the browser startup parameters;

[0009] The display module is modified so that when window_to_tab is set, a new tab is created according to chrome.windows.create provided by the Chromium kernel; otherwise, a new independent window is created. When a tab is closed, only the currently active tab is closed.

[0010] Thirdly, the present invention provides an electronic device including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the method described in the first aspect.

[0011] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the method described in the first aspect.

[0012] One or more technical solutions provided by this invention have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0013] 1. Enhance user experience flexibility

[0014] Allow users to choose the pop-up behavior (new window / new tab) based on their usage habits to meet different scenario needs. For example, use a new window when independent operation is required, and use a new tab when you want to maintain browsing continuity.

[0015] 2. Intuitive browser design

[0016] Converting plugin pop-ups into tabs allows for better integration into the browser's tab management system, enabling users to switch, group, and manage them just like regular web pages, reducing cognitive load.

[0017] 3. Dynamic switching without restarting

[0018] The window_to_tab parameter can be modified in real time via the IPC mechanism, and the changes will take effect without restarting the plugin or browser, thus improving the responsiveness of the function and the smoothness of user operation.

[0019] 4. Maintain functional consistency

[0020] The behavior logic for creating and closing operations remains consistent (either both are window-based or tab-based), avoiding confusion in user behavior and enhancing the predictability of the functionality.

[0021] 5. Adaptable to different usage scenarios

[0022] Multi-window workflow: Suitable for scenarios that require displaying multiple independent plugin interfaces simultaneously.

[0023] Tab management: Suitable for scenarios where you want to centrally manage all content and reduce window switching.

[0024] 6. Enhance scalability

[0025] This parameterized control design pattern makes it easy to add more behavioral options later. New operation modes can be supported simply by expanding the judgment conditions, without the need for major code refactoring.

[0026] 7. Optimize resource usage

[0027] Tabbed mode typically saves more system resources than standalone windows. For users who frequently use plugins, switching modes can reduce memory usage.

[0028] Overall, this design, through configurable behavior patterns and a seamless switching mechanism, maximizes its adaptability to different user preferences and scenario needs without sacrificing functional integrity.

[0029] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and in order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention are described below. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the method in Embodiment 1 of the present invention;

[0032] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the device in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0033] The overall concept of the technical solution in this application is as follows:

[0034] This solution provides a way to change the behavior of browser plugin pop-ups in real time without restarting the browser (specifically, a Chromium-based browser); the specific steps are as follows:

[0035] Step 1: Add a parameter `window_to_tab`, a boolean type, to control whether to change the behavior of the standalone pop-up to tab mode.

[0036] Step 2: If `window_to_tab` is true, the kernel-provided plugin API `chrome.windows.create` will create a new tab; otherwise, it will create a new independent window.

[0037] Step 3: Provide an IPC method to dynamically change the value of window_to_tab to achieve real-time control.

[0038] Instructions on how to change the behavior of the pop-up window for the operation.

[0039] 1. In the `chrome.windows.create` method, check if the `window_to_tab` parameter is true, which is used to determine the behavior of the plugin pop-up.

[0040]

[0041] 2. In the `chrome.windows.remove` method, modify the closing behavior based on the `window_to_tab` parameter.

[0042]

[0043] 3: Dynamically change the value of window_to_tab using IPC.

[0044]

[0045] Example 1

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for changing a pop-up window into a tab page, including the following steps:

[0047] Step 1: Add a parameter `window_to_tab` to the browser's startup parameters;

[0048] Step 2: When window_to_tab is set, a new tab is created according to chrome.windows.create provided by the Chromium kernel; otherwise, a new independent window is created. When closing a tab, only the currently active tab is closed.

[0049] In this embodiment, preferably, step 3 is also included: changing the value of the parameter window_to_tab via IPC.

[0050] In this embodiment, preferably, step 1 specifically involves adding a parameter `window_to_tab` to the browser startup parameters. The parameter `window_to_tab` is of type boolean. When `window_to_tab` is true, the behavior of the independent pop-up window is changed to tab mode; when `window_to_tab` is false, the behavior of the independent pop-up window is not changed.

[0051] In this embodiment, preferably, step 2 specifically involves: obtaining the window_to_tab parameter through Setting::GetWindowToTab.

[0052] When `window_to_tab` is true, a new browser window will not be created; instead, a new tab will be created in the current window. Specifically:

[0053] Get the current window controller (WindowController) and the browser instance (Browser);

[0054] Construct the tab opening parameters OpenTabParams, including the URL to be opened;

[0055] Use ExtensionTabUtil::OpenTab to open a new tab in the current window;

[0056] The system returns the result of the operation, including information about the current browser window, indicating that the new tab has been created.

[0057] When window_to_tab is false, a new browser window is created;

[0058] When closing a tab, check if the window_to_tab parameter is true;

[0059] If the window_to_tab parameter is true, the entire browser window will not be closed; only the currently active tab will be closed.

[0060] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an apparatus corresponding to the method in Embodiment 1, as detailed in Embodiment 2.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for changing a pop-up window into a tab page, including:

[0063] In the parameter settings module, add a parameter `window_to_tab` to the browser startup parameters;

[0064] The display module is modified so that when window_to_tab is set, a new tab is created according to chrome.windows.create provided by the Chromium kernel; otherwise, a new independent window is created. When a tab is closed, only the currently active tab is closed.

[0065] In this embodiment, preferably, it also includes a parameter modification module to change the value of the parameter window_to_tab via IPC.

[0066] In this embodiment, preferably, the setting parameter module specifically adds a parameter window_to_tab to the browser startup parameters. The parameter window_to_tab is of type bool. When window_to_tab is true, the behavior of the independent pop-up window is changed to tab mode; when window_to_tab is false, the behavior of the independent pop-up window is not changed.

[0067] In this embodiment, preferably, the change of the display module specifically involves: obtaining the window_to_tab parameter through Setting::GetWindowToTab.

[0068] When `window_to_tab` is true, a new browser window will not be created; instead, a new tab will be created in the current window. Specifically:

[0069] Get the current window controller (WindowController) and the browser instance (Browser);

[0070] Construct the tab opening parameters OpenTabParams, including the URL to be opened;

[0071] Use ExtensionTabUtil::OpenTab to open a new tab in the current window;

[0072] The system returns the result of the operation, including information about the current browser window, indicating that the new tab has been created.

[0073] When window_to_tab is false, a new browser window is created;

[0074] When closing a tab, check if the window_to_tab parameter is true;

[0075] If the window_to_tab parameter is true, the entire browser window will not be closed; only the currently active tab will be closed.
