Description

Technical Field

[0001] (Cross - reference to related applications) This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application with the application number 202110944261.9 and the invention title "Screen Display Method, Device, Storage Medium, and Electronic Device", which was filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on August 17, 2021, and all of its contents are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] This application relates to the field of computers, and specifically, to a screen display method, device, computer program, and electronic device.

Background Art

[0003] In related technologies, many applications have added a chat function. For example, both live - streaming applications and video applications have a chat function. Multiple accounts can chat in the application during live - streaming or video viewing, thus improving the viewing experience of live - streaming or videos.

[0004] However, currently, it is impossible to know the status of the other account during a chat, nor can one know the screen being viewed by the other account. Taking the chat scenario between account A and account B in a live - streaming application as an example, account A and account B only have a chat function on the chat page. If account A wants to know the current status of account B, it is necessary to ask about the current status of account B through chat. If account B is currently live - streaming in the live - room, and account A wants to view the live - streaming screen of account B, account A has to ask for the live - room information from the account and search for the live - room in the live - streaming application before it can enter account B's live - room, and the operation is complex.

[0005] Also, during live streaming or video viewing, one account may chat with multiple accounts simultaneously. In this case, the account needs to open multiple chat windows simultaneously. However, the above-mentioned multiple chat windows will block many application screens, for example, the live streaming screen or video screen currently being viewed. Furthermore, in a scene where multiple chat windows are opened simultaneously, in order to reduce the area of the application screen blocked by the multiple chat windows, the user needs to close some chat windows and leave only one chat window. However, in this case, if the user wants to chat with another account again, it is necessary to reopen the chat window for chatting with the above-mentioned another account. The operation of closing and then reopening will increase the operation steps and reduce the operation efficiency.

[0006] For the above problems, no currently effective solutions have been proposed.
