[0010] For example, the multi-task management center interface can be FIG. 5D The user interface shown can have the task window of the first combined window as follows: FIG. 5D The task window shown is 5009. The first combined window can be... FIG. 5E The combined window shown is 3009. The first window can be... FIG. 5E The window shown is 3030, and the second window can be...

[0012] Not limited to two windows, combined windows can also include more windows. This makes it convenient for users to preview and operate multiple windows.

[0013] Yes, the first window can be displayed between the second and third windows. Alternatively, the first window can be displayed to the left of the second and third windows. Or, the first window can be displayed to the right of the second and third windows.

[0014] For example, the third window could be FIG. 4B The window shown is 3010 or 3011. Alternatively, the third window could be... FIG. 5E The window shown is 3010 or 3011.

The method further includes: the first electronic device receiving a fifth operation from the user; in response to the fifth operation, the first electronic device displays the task window of the third combined window on the multitasking management center interface, the third combined window being a window generated by combining the task window of the second combined window and the first combined window, and the third combined window including the windows in the first combined window and the windows in the second combined window.

[0028] In this way, the first electronic device can generate a new combined window based on the user's operation on the task window of multiple combined windows in the multi-task management center interface.

[0029] For example, you can refer to FIG. 5C-FIG. 5D The description in the embodiment. The task window of the first combined window can be FIG. 5C The task window 3021 shown can be the fourth window. FIG. 5C The fifth window shown in window 3023 can be...

The third combined window is different from the first combined window. After the first electronic device displays the first combined window, the method further includes: the first electronic device receiving user operations on the first combined window and displaying the third combined window.

[0039] In this way, the first electronic device can share its local combo window with other electronic devices.

[0040] In one possible implementation, the seventh operation is to long-press and drag the first task window to move it to the display area where the first identifier is located.

[0041] For example, you can refer to FIG. 8A-FIG. 8C The description in the embodiments. The first identifier may be FIG. 8A-FIG. 8C The identifier shown is 7002.

[0068] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B; the word "and / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more than two.

[0069] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature, and in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0070] The term "user interface (UI)" used in the following embodiments of this application refers to the medium interface through which an application or operating system interacts and exchanges information with a user. It realizes the conversion between the internal form of information and the form that the user can accept. The most common form of user interface is the graphical user interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operation displayed in a graphical manner. It can be visual interface elements such as text, icons, buttons, menus, tabs, text boxes, dialog boxes, status bars, navigation bars, and widgets displayed on the screen of a wearable device.

[0071] Electronic devices can run multiple applications simultaneously. Generally, an electronic device can display one application window in full screen. If the user needs to switch between different application windows, the electronic device needs to move the currently displayed application window to the background before displaying the other application window selected by the user. Alternatively, the electronic device may need to move the currently displayed application window to the background, enter the multitasking management interface, and then display other application windows selected by the user in the multitasking management interface.

[0072] Currently, switching between different application windows on electronic devices is a cumbersome and time-consuming process for users.

[0073] Based on the above analysis, this application provides an application window management method, which includes: an electronic device receiving a user operation to create and display a first combined window. The first combined window includes at least two windows, such as a first window and a second window. The first window displays content from a first application, and the second window displays content from a second application. The focus window of the first combined window is the first window, which can refer to the window that the current user can control. The electronic device can receive and respond to user operations on the first application within the first window.

[0074] In this way, electronic devices can display two application windows simultaneously, and users can also preview the content of different applications displayed in the two application windows at the same time.

[0075] For an example of how an electronic device creates a composite window, please refer to [reference needed]. FIG. 3A-FIG. 3U Description in the embodiments.

[0076] Optionally, the first application and the second application can be the same or different.

[0077] Optionally, the size of the focused window in the first grouped window is larger than the size of the non-focused windows in the same grouped window. This makes it easier for users to operate the focused window.

[0078] In some embodiments, the electronic device can receive user input to switch the focus window of the first combined window. For example, the electronic device can receive user input to switch the focus window in the first combined window from the first window to the second window, and the electronic device can receive and respond to user input for a second application in the second window. In this way, the electronic device can switch between displaying different focus windows to facilitate user operation of different applications.

[0079] For example, to illustrate how an electronic device switches the focus window of a combined window display, please refer to... FIG. 5A-FIG. 5F Description in the embodiments.

[0080] In some embodiments, the electronic device can receive user input to switch between displaying different combined windows. This allows the electronic device to switch between displaying different combined windows based on user input, enabling the user to preview application windows for different applications.

[0081] For an example of how an electronic device switches between displaying different combined windows, please refer to [reference needed]. FIG. 6A-FIG. 6D Description in the embodiments.

[0082] In some embodiments, when a communication connection is established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the first electronic device may also display a combined window from the second electronic device. The first electronic device can control applications on the second electronic device through the combined window. For example, see [link to example]. FIG. 7A-FIG. 7C Description in the embodiments.

[0083] In some embodiments, when a communication connection is established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the first electronic device can also share a first combined window from the first electronic device to the second electronic device. The second electronic device can then control applications in the first electronic device through the first combined window. For example, see [link to example].

[0236] like FIG. 7D As shown, electronic device 100 simultaneously displays both the local task window of electronic device 100 and the task window 7003 of electronic device 200. In this way, electronic device 100 can save the combined window from electronic device 200 locally on electronic device 100.

[0237] 7. Electronic device 100 shares the local combo window to other devices.

[0238] In some embodiments, when electronic device 100 and electronic device 200 establish a communication connection and an association relationship, electronic device 100 can share a combined window created on electronic device 100 to electronic device 200.

[0239] FIG. 8A-FIG. 8C This diagram illustrates how electronic device 100 receives a user operation to share a local combo window of electronic device 100 to electronic device 200.

[0240] When electronic device 100 and electronic device 200 establish a communication connection and an association relationship, electronic device 100 can display... FIG. 8A The labels 7001 and 7002 are shown.

[0241] like FIG. 8A As shown, electronic device 100 can receive a user's long press on task window 3021 and drag task window 3021 to the identifier 7002. In response to the user's operation, electronic device 100 shares the combined window corresponding to task window 3021 to electronic device 200.

[0242] After receiving the combined window shared by electronic device 100, electronic device 200 can display... FIG. 8B The user interface shown is FIG. 8B The user interface shown contains a component window 7004, which may be sent by the electronic device 100.

[0244] In some embodiments, if the combined window corresponding to task window 3021 does not support sharing to other devices, electronic device 100 may display... FIG. 8C The displayed prompt message 7005 includes the text "The currently selected combo window does not support transfer between devices!". Prompt message 7005 is used to inform the user that the currently selected combo window does not support sharing.

[0245] FIG. 9 This is a flowchart illustrating an application window management method provided in this application.

[0246] S901, The first electronic device displays a multi-task management center interface, which includes a task window of the first combined window.

[0247] S902, The first electronic device receives a first operation from the user on the task window of the first combined window.

[0248] S903. In response to the first operation, the first electronic device displays a first combined window, which includes a first window and a second window. The size of the first window is larger than the size of the second window, and the second window is displayed in the form of a window interface flipped inwards towards the screen of the electronic device.

[0249] Using this method, electronic devices can display a combined task window within a multitasking management center interface. The combined window can be opened from the multitasking management center based on user interaction, allowing users to easily operate it and simultaneously preview multiple application windows, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0250] For example, the multi-task management center interface can be FIG. 3S The user interface shown can have the task window of the first combined window as follows: FIG. 3S The task window shown is 3021. The first combined window can be... FIG. 4B The combined window shown is 3009. The first window can be... FIG. 4B The window shown is 3030, and the second window can be... FIG. 4B The window shown is 3010 or 3011.

[0251] For example, the multi-task management center interface can be FIG. 3V The user interface shown can have the task window of the first combined window as follows: FIG. 3V The task window shown is 3034.

[0252] For example, the multi-task management center interface can be FIG. 5C The user interface shown can have the task window of the first combined window as follows: FIG. 5CThe task window shown is 3021 or task window 5005.

[0253] For example, the multi-task management center interface can be FIG. 5D The user interface shown can have the task window of the first combined window as follows: FIG. 5D The task window shown is 5009. The first combined window can be... FIG. 5E The combined window shown is 3009. The first window can be... FIG. 5E The window shown is 3030, and the second window can be... FIG. 5E The window shown is 3010 or 3011.

[0254] In one possible implementation, the first combined window also includes a third window, the size of which is larger than that of the third window, and the third window is displayed in a way that flips the window interface toward the inside of the screen of the electronic device.

[0255] Not limited to two windows, combined windows can also include more windows. This makes it convenient for users to preview and operate multiple windows.

[0256] Yes, the first window can be displayed between the second and third windows. Alternatively, the first window can be displayed to the left of the second and third windows. Or, the first window can be displayed to the right of the second and third windows.

[0257] For example, the third window could be FIG. 4B The window shown is 3010 or 3011. Alternatively, the third window could be... FIG. 5E The window shown is 3010 or 3011.

[0258] In one possible implementation, the first window displays a page of the first application, and the second window displays a page of the second application, wherein the first application and the second application are different; or, the first window displays a first page of the first application, and the second window displays a second page of the first application.

[0259] Optionally, the first page and the second page can be the same or different.

[0260] In this way, the first electronic device can generate a combined window based on multiple pages of different applications, or multiple pages of the same application.

[0261] In one possible implementation, the method of having the focus window of the first combined window as the first window further includes: a first electronic device receiving a second operation from a user on the first combined window; in response to the second operation, the first electronic device switching the focus window of the first combined window to the second window, wherein the size of the second window is larger than the size of the first window, and the first window is displayed in the form of a window interface flipped inward toward the screen of the electronic device.

[0262] In this way, the first electronic device can switch between displaying different focus windows within the first combined window based on user operations. This allows the user to control multiple windows within the first combined window individually.

[0263] For example, you can refer to FIG. 5A-FIG. 5B The description in the embodiment. The first window can be FIG. 5A The window shown is 3030. The second window can be... FIG. 5B The first window shown in window 5003 can be... FIG. 5B The window shown is 5004.

[0264] In one possible implementation, before the first electronic device receives a first operation from a user on a task window of a first combined window, the method further includes: the first electronic device displaying a multitasking management center interface, the multitasking management center interface including task windows of a first application and a second application; the first electronic device receiving a third operation; and in response to the third operation, the first electronic device displaying a task window of the first combined window on the multitasking management center interface, the first combined window being derived from pages of the first application and pages of the second application.

[0265] In this way, the first electronic device can generate a combined window based on the user's operations on the task windows of multiple applications in the multi-task management center interface, through the pages of multiple applications.

[0266] For example, you can refer to FIG. 3Q-FIG. 3S The description in the embodiment. The task window of the first application can be FIG. 3Q The task window of the email application shown can be the task window of the second application. FIG. 3S The task window of the Memos application is shown.

[0267] In one possible implementation, before the first electronic device receives a first operation from a user on a task window of a first combined window, the method further includes: the first electronic device displaying a multitasking management center interface, the multitasking management center interface including a task window of a first application; the first electronic device receiving a fourth operation; and in response to the fourth operation, the first electronic device displaying a task window of a first combined window on the multitasking management center interface, the first combined window being derived based on a first page and a second page of the first application.

[0268] In this way, the first electronic device can generate a combined window from multiple pages of an application based on the user's operation on the task window of an application in the multi-task management center interface.

[0269] For example, you can refer to FIG. 3T-FIG. 3V Description in the embodiments.

[0270] In one possible implementation, the multitasking management center interface includes a task window of a second combined window, wherein the task window of the second combined window includes a fourth window and a fifth window, the size of the fourth window is larger than the size of the fifth window, and the fifth window is displayed in a way that flips the window interface inward toward the screen of the electronic device. The third combined window is different from the first combined window. The method further includes: a first electronic device receiving a fifth operation from the user; in response to the fifth operation, the first electronic device displays the task window of the third combined window on the multitasking management center interface. The third combined window is a window generated by combining the task window of the second combined window and the first combined window, and the third combined window includes the windows in the first combined window and the windows in the second combined window.

[0271] In this way, the first electronic device can generate a new combined window based on the user's operation on the task window of multiple combined windows in the multi-task management center interface.

[0272] For example, you can refer to FIG. 5C-FIG. 5D The description in the embodiment. The task window of the first combined window can be FIG. 5C The task window 3021 shown can be the fourth window. FIG. 5C The fifth window shown in window 3023 can be... FIG. 5C The window shown is 3022 or 3024. The second combined window can be... FIG. 5C The task window shown is 5005. The third combined window can be... FIG. 5D The task window shown is 5009.

[0273] In one possible implementation, the method further includes: a first electronic device displaying the third combined window, the third combined window displaying windows in the first combined window; the first electronic device receiving a sixth operation from a user on the third combined window; and in response to the sixth operation, the first electronic device displaying windows in the second combined window, or the first electronic device displaying a portion of the windows in the first combined window and a portion of the windows in the second combined window.

[0274] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the multi-task management center interface includes a task window of a second combined window, wherein the task window of the second combined window includes a fourth window and a fifth window, the fourth window being larger than the fifth window, and the fifth window being displayed by flipping the window interface inwards towards the screen of the electronic device. The third combined window is different from the first combined window. After the first electronic device displays the first combined window, the method further includes: the first electronic device receiving user operations on the first combined window and displaying the third combined window.

[0275] In some embodiments, the first electronic device may generate a combined window based on the user's operation on one or more task windows in a multitasking management center interface.

[0276] In some embodiments, the first electronic device may generate a combined window based on the user's operations on the task windows of one or more applications in the multitasking management center interface, and the operations on the task windows of one or more combined windows.

[0277] In some embodiments, the first electronic device may generate a combined window based on the user's operations on one or more split-screen windows in the multitasking management center interface.

[0278] In some embodiments, the first electronic device may generate a combined window based on the user's operations on the task windows of one or more split-screen windows and one or more application task windows in the multitasking management center interface.

[0279] In some embodiments, the first electronic device may generate a combined window based on the user's operations on the task windows of one or more split-screen windows and one or more combined windows in the multitasking management center interface.

[0280] Not limited to the methods described above, the first electronic device can also receive user operations and generate a combined window in a non-multi-task management center interface. For example, see [link to example]. FIG. 3A-FIG. 3O Description in the embodiments.

[0281] In one possible implementation, the method further includes: when the first electronic device establishes a communication connection with the second electronic device and the first electronic device and the second electronic device establish an association relationship, the first electronic device displays a first identifier in the multi-task management center interface; the first electronic device receives a seventh operation from the user on the task window of the first combined window; in response to the first seventh operation, the first electronic device sends the first combined window to the second electronic device.

[0282] In this way, the first electronic device can share its local combo window with other electronic devices.

[0283] In one possible implementation, the seventh operation is to long-press and drag the first task window to move it to the display area where the first identifier is located.

[0284] For example, you can refer to FIG. 8A-FIG. 8C The description in the embodiments. The first identifier may be FIG. 8A-FIG. 8C The identifier shown is 7002.

[0285] In one possible implementation, when the first electronic device establishes a communication connection with the second electronic device and the first electronic device and the second electronic device establish an association relationship, the first electronic device displays a first identifier in the multi-task management center interface; the first electronic device receives an eighth operation from the user for the first identifier; in response to the first operation, the first electronic device receives a sixth combined window sent by the second electronic device and displays the task window of the sixth combined window in the multi-task management center interface.

[0286] In this way, the first electronic device can view the combined windows created on other electronic devices.

[0287] For example, you can refer to FIG. 7A-FIG. 7D The description in the embodiments. The first identifier may be FIG. 7A-FIG. 7D The identifier shown is 7002.

[0288] In one possible implementation, a second identifier is displayed near the sixth task window, which indicates that the sixth combined window was sent from the second electronic device to the first electronic device.

[0289] In one possible implementation, the method further includes: a first electronic device receiving a ninth operation from a user on a task window of a sixth combined window; in response to the ninth operation, the first electronic device displaying a seventh combined window, the seventh combined window including a sixth window and a seventh window, the size of the sixth window being larger than the size of the seventh window, the seventh window being displayed in a manner that flips the window interface inward toward the screen of the electronic device; the first electronic device receiving a tenth operation from a user on the sixth window of the seventh combined window; in response to the tenth operation, the first electronic device sending a first instruction to a second electronic device, the first instruction being used to instruct an application on the second electronic device to perform a corresponding operation.
