Description

Display method, device, storage medium and electronic device TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display control, and in particular to a display method, device, storage medium and electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the improvement of hardware functions, existing electronic devices can run more and more applications simultaneously. To meet the needs of users, split-screen display has emerged.

[0003] In an existing split-screen display scheme, after a user clicks a split-screen control to trigger the start of split-screen display, the user selects a first application and a second application that support split-screen display to be displayed simultaneously in two display areas of a display interface. However, the display positions of the first application and the second application are set by the system, for example, the interfaces of the corresponding applications are displayed in sequence from left to right according to the order in which the user selects the applications. If the user wants to adjust the display positions of the first application and / or the second application, or the user wants to change a certain application / all applications in the current split-screen interface, the user can only click the split-screen control again to select the applications to be displayed in split screen according to the preset correspondence between the display positions. In this way, the operation is tedious and inefficient.

[0004] In particular, for an interactive tablet, because the interactive tablet has a large area and the split-screen control is generally located in a sidebar of the display interface, if the user re-operates, the user needs to move to the position of the sidebar to operate, which is particularly tedious and inefficient.

[0038] In order to make the features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] The following description refers to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise indicated, same or similar elements in different drawings are denoted by same or similar reference numerals. The implementations described in the following example embodiments are not meant to represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0040] With the rapid development of technology, the functional requirements of users for electronic devices are increasingly diversified. Consequently, the hardware functions of electronic devices are increasingly powerful, and more and more applications can be run simultaneously.

[0041] In order to improve user experience and meet the needs of users for multi-task / application processing, electronic devices have gradually begun to support split-screen display functions. Such functions can enable users to run and view multiple application programs simultaneously on the same screen. For example, a document can be viewed in one window, and content can be edited in another window, so that users do not need to frequently switch application programs, thereby saving time and improving work efficiency. When performing data analysis, the analyzed data and analysis tools can be placed on the same screen, so that the data and analysis results can be viewed simultaneously, thereby improving efficiency and accuracy in the application scenario of data analysis. In a meeting, a PPT can be displayed in one window, and real-time writing or browsing of other materials can be performed in another window, so that participants can view detailed materials and explanations while browsing the meeting documents, facilitating collaboration and communication among meeting participants, and improving screen utilization and meeting communication efficiency. In general, the split-screen display function enables electronic devices to better meet the diversified needs of users.

[0042] However, the current split-screen display method still has some problems, which affect the user experience of the split-screen display function.

[0043] Specifically, in the prior split-screen display scheme, after a user clicks a split-screen control in an electronic device to trigger a split-screen display start, the user selects a first application and a second application that support split-screen display to be displayed in two display areas of a display interface simultaneously. However, the display positions of the first application and the second application are set by the system, for example, the interfaces of the corresponding applications are displayed from left to right in sequence according to the order in which the user selects the applications. If the user wants to adjust the display positions of the first application and / or the second application, or wants to change a certain application / all applications in the current split-screen interface, the user can only click the split-screen control again to select the applications to be displayed in split screen according to the preset display position correspondence. In this way, the operation is tedious and inefficient.

[0044] Referring to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of an existing split-screen display effect provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in (A) of FIG. 1, in a display interface 100 displayed by an electronic device, a user (the user in the embodiments of the present application is indicated by a "hand shape" in each figure) clicks a split-screen control 110 in the display interface 100 to trigger a split-screen start process. At this time, as shown in (B) of FIG. 1, the display interface 100 displays a split-screen creation window 120, which includes an application selection area 1201 that supports split-screen display, a split-screen preview area 1202, a cancel control, and a confirmation control. The application selection area 1201 includes icons of a plurality of applications that support split-screen display. The split-screen preview area 1202 includes a first application preview window and a second application preview window. The first application preview window has identification information "①", and the second application preview window has identification information "②". Then, referring to (B) of FIG. 1, the user clicks and selects a first application icon and a second application icon in the application selection area 1201 in sequence. When the first application icon is selected, the first application icon appears with the identification information "①" to mark that the interface of the first application is displayed in the first application preview window in the split-screen preview area 1202. When the second application icon is selected, the second application icon appears with the identification information "②" to mark that the interface of the second application is displayed in the second application preview window in the split-screen preview area 1202. At this time, if the user directly clicks the confirmation control, the first application and the second application are displayed according to the preview effect of the split-screen preview area 1202.

[0045] But in another case, please refer to (C) in FIG. 1, if the user needs to display the first application in the second application preview window and display the second application in the first application preview window, the user needs to click the first application icon and the second application icon in the application selection area 1201 again to cancel the display of the first application preview window on the interface of the first application and the display of the second application preview window on the interface of the second application; then, the second application icon is selected first, so that the second application icon appears the identification information of "①" to mark that the first application preview window in the split-screen preview area 1202 displays the interface of the second application; the first application icon is selected again, so that the first application icon appears the identification information of "②" to mark that the second application preview window in the split-screen preview area 1202 displays the interface of the first application. It can be clearly seen that when the split-screen display, the interface of the corresponding application can be displayed in turn from left to right according to the order of the user's selection of the application. When the position of the split-screen display is changed, the application must be cancelled and selected in order.

[0046] In addition, when the user needs to change the split-screen display application in the already split-screen case, the user also needs to click the split-screen control to enter the split-screen setting process as shown in (A) in FIG. 1, and then cancel the selection of the first application and the second application displayed in the split-screen and select the third application and the fourth application to be displayed in the split-screen as shown in (C) in FIG. 1. Since the selection order of the application determines the display position of the interface, the user needs to pay attention to the selection order during the selection of the third application and the fourth application. For the user, the operation is complex and it is difficult to quickly achieve the desired split-screen effect.

[0047] In particular, for the interactive tablet, since the area of the interactive tablet is relatively large, and the split-screen control is generally located in the side bar of the display interface, if the user re-operates, the user needs to move to the position of the side bar to operate, which is tedious and inefficient.

[0048] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a display method. In a split-screen display interface including a first display window and a second display window, a split-screen adjustment menu is displayed. The split-screen adjustment menu includes at least one of a window switching control and a split-screen setting control. If a user operation on the window switching control is received, the content displayed in the first display window and the second display window is switched. If a user operation on the split-screen setting control is received, a split-screen selection pop-up window is displayed. In the split-screen selection pop-up window, the preview display position of the selected application can be switched, which facilitates the user to select the application to be split-screened. The display of the window switching control and the split-screen setting control facilitates the user's operation, which can effectively reduce the repeated operation, and the user does not need to start from the beginning, thereby improving the efficiency.

[0049] In addition, the split-screen selection pop-up window further comprises a split-screen preview window, so that the user can preview the split-screen interface in advance to determine whether the needs are met, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0050] The display method provided by the embodiments of the present application is applied to a display device with a display screen. The display device can be an interactive tablet, a mobile phone, an artificial intelligence device, or other devices with display functions. The operating system installed on the electronic device includes but is not limited to IOS, Andraid, Windows, and other operating systems. The present application does not limit the specific type of electronic device or the operating system installed.

[0051] For example, FIG. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0052] The electronic device can include a processor, a memory, a universal serial bus (USB) interface, a power management module, a battery, a wireless communication module, an audio module, a sensor module, a camera, a display screen, and the like.

[0053] The processor can include one or more processing units. For example, the processor can include an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a controller, a video codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), and / or a neural-network processing unit (NPU), etc. Different processing units can be independent devices or integrated into one or more processors. The controller can generate operation control signals according to instruction operation codes and timing signals to complete the control of fetching and executing instructions. The controller can be an Open Pluggable Specification (OPS) computer.

[0054] The memory in the processor can also be configured to store instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor is a cache memory. The memory can store instructions or data that have just been used or are repeatedly used by the processor. If the processor needs to use the instructions or data again, it can directly call them from the memory. This avoids repeated access and reduces the waiting time of the processor, thereby improving the efficiency of the system.

[0055] In some embodiments, the processor can include one or more interfaces. The interfaces can include an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface, a universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter (UART) interface, a general-purpose input / output (GPIO) interface, and / or a universal serial bus (USB) interface, etc.

[0056] The power management module is used to connect the battery and the processor. The power management module receives the input of the battery and provides power for the processor, the internal memory, the display screen, the camera, and the communication module, etc.

[0057] The wireless communication module can provide a wireless communication solution applied on the electronic device, including wireless local area networks (WLAN) (such as wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network), bluetooth (BT), near field communication (NFC), infrared (IR) technology, etc.

[0058] The electronic device realizes the display function through the GPU, the display screen, and the application processor, etc. The GPU is a microprocessor for image processing, connected with the display screen and the application processor. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. The processor can include one or more GPUs, which execute program instructions to generate or change display information.

[0059] The display screen is used to display images, videos, etc. The display screen includes a display panel. The display panel can adopt a liquid crystal display (LCD). In some embodiments, the electronic device can include 1 or N display screens, N being a positive integer greater than 1.

[0060] The camera is used to capture still images or videos. In some embodiments, the electronic device can include 1 or N cameras, N being a positive integer greater than 1.

[0061] The memory can be used to store computer executable program code including instructions. The memory can include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area can store an operating system, application programs required by at least one function (such as a sound playing function, an image playing function, etc.), and the like. The data storage area can store data created during use of the electronic device (such as writing traces, etc.), and the like. In addition, the internal memory can include a high-speed random access memory, and can further include a non-volatile memory such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash storage (UFS), and the like. The processor executes various function applications and data processing of the electronic device by running instructions stored in the memory and / or instructions stored in the memory disposed in the processor.

[0062] The audio module is used to convert digital audio information into an analog audio signal output, and is also used to convert an analog audio input into a digital audio signal. The audio module can also be used to encode and decode audio signals. In some embodiments, the audio module can be disposed in the processor, or part of the function modules of the audio module can be disposed in the processor. The audio module can include a speaker, a microphone, and an application processor, etc. to realize audio functions.

[0063] The sensor module can include one or more of a pressure sensor, a distance sensor, a proximity light sensor, a temperature sensor, a touch sensor, an ambient light sensor, etc.

[0064] The pressure sensor is used to sense a pressure signal, and can convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor can be disposed in the display screen. There are many types of pressure sensors, such as a resistance type pressure sensor, an inductance type pressure sensor, a capacitance type pressure sensor, etc. The capacitance type pressure sensor can include at least two parallel plates with conductive material. When a force acts on the pressure sensor, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. The electronic device determines the intensity of the pressure according to the change in capacitance. When a touch operation acts on the display screen, the electronic device detects the intensity of the touch operation according to the pressure sensor. The electronic device can also calculate the position of the touch according to the detection signal of the pressure sensor. In some embodiments, touch operations acting on the same touch position but with different touch operation intensities can correspond to different operation instructions.

[0065] Touch sensor, also called touch device. The touch sensor can be disposed on the display screen, and the touch sensor and the display screen form a touch screen, also called touch screen. The touch sensor is used to detect the touch operation acting on or near the touch sensor. The touch sensor can transmit the detected touch operation to the application processor to determine the touch event type. The visual output related to the touch operation can be provided through the display screen. In other embodiments, the touch sensor can also be disposed on the surface of the electronic device, which is different from the position of the display screen.

[0066] On the display screen with touch function, the user can realize touch operation by touching the display screen with finger or stylus. Correspondingly, the electronic device detects the touch position and responds according to the touch position to realize the touch function. When the touch sensing module used on the display screen with touch function is different, the original touch signal collected by the touch sensor is different, and the converted touch signal is also not completely the same.

[0067] For the infrared display screen, the touch sensor is an infrared touch frame, and the touch signal collected by the touch sensor can include a signal indicating that the infrared ray is blocked. The converted touch signal can include a position touch signal, which can include the X coordinate and Y coordinate of the touch position.

[0071] For the pressure display screen, the touch sensing module is a pressure sensor, and the touch signal collected by the touch sensor can include a pressure signal. The converted touch signal can include a position touch signal, which can include the X coordinate and Y coordinate of the touch position.

[0072] The above merely illustrates the structure of the electronic device in the embodiments of the present application, but does not constitute a limitation on the structure and form of the electronic device. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the structure and form of the electronic device.

[0073] For example, FIG. 3 is a structural schematic diagram of another electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic device includes a processor, a memory, a transceiver, and a display screen. The implementation of the processor, the memory, and the display screen can refer to the implementation of the processor, the memory, and the display screen of the electronic device shown in FIG. 2. The transceiver is used for the electronic device to interact with other devices. The transceiver can be a device based on a communication protocol such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other communication protocols.

[0074] The electronic device in the embodiments of the present application can include more or fewer components than those shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or replace certain components, or different arrangement of components. The illustrated components can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0075] The technical solutions involved in the following embodiments can be implemented in a device with a structure as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

[0076] Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a flow schematic diagram of a display method provided in the embodiments of the present application. The execution subject of the embodiments of the present application can be an electronic device executing the display method, or a processor in a terminal executing the display method, or a display service in the electronic device executing the display method. For the convenience of description, the specific execution process of the display method is introduced below by taking the execution subject as the processor in the electronic device.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 4, the display method can at least include:

[0078] S402, display a first split-screen display interface.

[0079] The first split-screen display interface includes a first display window, a second display window, and a split-screen adjustment menu. The first display window displays the interface of a first application, and the second display window displays the interface of a second application. Both the first application and the second application support split-screen display. The first display window and the second display window are adjacent. The split-screen adjustment menu includes at least one of a window switching control and a split-screen setting control.

[0080] The split-screen effect mentioned in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to left-right split-screen, but can also be up-down split-screen, oblique split-screen, etc. For the convenience of example, the embodiments of the present application are all described by taking left-right split-screen as an example. The display mode of up-down split-screen, oblique split-screen, etc. is the same as that of left-right split-screen, and thus is not described in detail.

[0081] Please refer to FIG. 5, which is an example diagram of a split-screen display interface provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 5, when the electronic device displays the first split-screen display interface 500, the first split-screen display interface 500 includes a first display window 510 and a second display window 520, and a split-screen adjustment menu 530. At this time, the first display window 510 displays the interface of a first application, and the second display window 520 displays the interface of a second application. Both the first application and the second application support split-screen display, and here the first application and the second application can be two split-screen applications selected by the user before the first split-screen display interface 500 is displayed.

[0083] In the first split-screen display interface 500, the first display window 510 and the second display window 520 are adjacent to each other to achieve the split-screen display effect of the first application and the second application.

[0084] The split-screen adjustment menu 530 includes at least one of a window switching control 5301 and a split-screen setting control 5302.

[0085] When the window switching control 5301 exists, the user can operate the window switching control 5301 to switch the application interfaces displayed in the current two display windows. When the split-screen setting control 5302 exists, the user can operate the split-screen setting control 5302 to change the setting information of the split-screen display.

[0086] Optionally, the split-screen adjustment menu 530 can be displayed at the boundary line between the first display window and the second display window, or can be set in the first display window or the second display window, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations in this regard. For ease of description, the following examples are described by taking the split-screen adjustment menu 530 as an example which is displayed at the boundary line between the first display window and the second display window.

[0087] In order to facilitate the user's operation on the split-screen application interface, the controls included in the split-screen adjustment menu 530 can be displayed in the first split-screen display interface in a non-transparent manner, or can be displayed in the first split-screen display interface in a semi-transparent manner, or can be displayed in the first split-screen display interface in an entry manner. Displaying in a semi-transparent manner or in an entry manner can effectively avoid the occlusion of the split-screen adjustment menu to the split-screen display interface.

[0088] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the entry of the split-screen adjustment menu 530 can be set at the boundary line between the first display window and the second display window. After the user clicks the entry at the boundary line between the first display window and the second display window, the split-screen adjustment menu 530 is expanded at the boundary line position.

[0132] It should be noted that the icon style of the window exchange control is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, and in order to facilitate user operation, the window exchange control can use an icon style that is easy for the user to understand its control function. The icon styles of the window exchange control, the window update control, the window adjustment control, and the window switching control can be the same or different.

[0133] In the embodiments of the present application, a display method is provided. When the user opens the split screen on the main page, the user can also click the split screen tool in the side tool bar, enter the third split screen selection pop-up window through the split screen starting control; in the third split screen selection pop-up window, the user selects the first application and the second application for split screen display, and the split screen preview interface displays the split screen preview effect of the selected application, which facilitates the user to preview the split screen effect of the selected application. At the same time, the split screen preview interface also includes a window exchange control. The user can switch the preview positions of the two applications by operating the window exchange control. After adjusting the preview position of the application to the desired position, the user operates the third split screen application control to display the first split screen display interface. Such a split screen starting method is more efficient, meets the user's operation intention, and improves the user experience.

[0134] When the user selects the split screen application in the split screen selection pop-up window, the user may make a wrong selection or change the selection, and then needs to cancel the selected application and select the correct target application. Based on this, in another embodiment provided in the present application, when the first split screen display interface is displayed in step S402, at least the following steps can be included:

[0135] Please refer to FIG. 13, which is an example diagram of a split screen starting interface provided in another embodiment of the present application.

[0136] As shown in (A) of FIG. 13, in response to the user's split screen creation instruction, a fourth split screen selection pop-up window 1300 is displayed. The fourth split screen selection pop-up window 1300 includes a fourth split screen preview window 1310, at least one fourth to-be-split-screen application identifier 1320, and a fourth split screen application control 1330. The at least one fourth to-be-split-screen application identifier 1320 includes an identifier of a first application, an identifier of a second application, and an identifier of a fifth application.

The split screen preview interface includes a cancel control 1340 corresponding to the fifth application preview window. The cancel control corresponding to the application preview window can be used to cancel the display of the application in the current preview window and the selected state of the application.

[0137] However, as shown in (B) of FIG. 13, after the user selects the fifth application identifier, the user considers that the fifth application split-screen display is not needed, and then can operate the cancel control 1340 corresponding to the fifth application preview window. The user operation on the cancel control is received, and the fifth application is canceled from the split-screen preview interface. At this time, the selected state of the fifth application identifier and the preview of the fifth application interface can be canceled. Further, if the user needs a split-screen preview of the second application, the user operation of selecting the second application identifier is received, and the split-screen preview interface of the first application and the second application is displayed in the fourth split-screen preview window 1310. At this time, the user can determine the current split-screen preview effect, and can select the fourth split-screen application control. The electronic device receives the user operation of selecting the fourth split-screen application control 1330, and displays the first split-screen display interface.

[0138] It should be noted that all preview windows can have cancel controls, or only some preview windows can have cancel controls, which are not limited in the present application. The icon style of the cancel control corresponding to the application preview window is not limited in the present application. In order to facilitate user operation, the cancel control can use an icon style that is easy for the user to understand its control function.

[0139] In the embodiment of the present application, a display method is provided. In the split-screen selection pop-up window, the user can also cancel the preview and selection of the selected application, and then continue to select other applications that need split-screen display. The selection, cancellation, and re-selection of the application can be previewed and displayed in the split-screen preview window. The user can intuitively see the influence of each operation on the split-screen result, and can easily debug the split-screen display interface that meets the user's needs.

[0140] Generally, when the split-screen display interface is created, the sizes of the two windows are usually the same, that is, displayed on the entire screen in a 1:1 ratio. However, the user may need to change the display ratio of the two windows in the split-screen display interface due to the user's own split-screen control needs. Therefore, in another embodiment provided by the present application, the split-screen adjustment menu further includes a ratio adjustment control, so that the user can adjust the display ratio of the application window in the current split-screen display through the ratio adjustment control. Specifically, the display method can further include at least:

[0141] Please refer to FIG. 14, which is an example of a split-screen window adjustment interface provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0142] As shown in (A) of FIG. 14, in the first split-screen display interface 500, a first display window 510 displaying a first application interface, a second display window 520 displaying a second application interface, and a split-screen adjustment menu 530 including a proportion adjustment control 5303 are included. A selection operation of the proportion adjustment control 5303 by a user is received, and please refer to (B) of FIG. 14, a proportion selection pop-up window 1400 is displayed. In order to facilitate the user to adjust the display proportion of the two windows to a target proportion, a plurality of selectable proportion illustrations can be provided to the user in the proportion selection pop-up window 1400, so that the user can adjust the windows to the display proportion indicated by the proportion illustration by selecting the proportion illustration. Then, the proportion selection pop-up window 1400 includes a plurality of proportion selection controls 1410, and the control identifiers of the plurality of proportion selection controls 1410 are different preset display proportion preview effects, such as 16:5, 1:1, 5:16, etc. Further, a selection operation of a target proportion selection control by a user is received, and the first display window and the second display window are displayed according to the display proportion corresponding to the control identifier of the target proportion selection control.

[0143] In the embodiments of the present application, a display method is provided, and a plurality of preset window proportion illustrations are provided to the user. The user can intuitively preview the proportion effect of the windows after the control is selected on the control identifier of the proportion selection control, and then the user can select the corresponding proportion selection control according to the display proportion needed by the user, so as to flexibly adjust the display proportions of the windows in the split-screen display interface.

[0144] If the user wants to customize and adjust the display proportions of the display windows in the split-screen display interface, the split line between the display windows can also be used to achieve this. Specifically, the display method can further include at least:

[0145] Please refer to FIG. 15, which is an example diagram of a split-screen window adjustment interface provided by another embodiment of the present application.

[0146] As shown in (A) of FIG. 15, in the first split-screen display interface 500, a first display window 510 displaying a first application interface, a second display window 520 displaying a second application interface, and a split line 540 between the first display window 510 and the second display window 520 exist, and a dragging operation of the split line 540 between the first display window and the second display window by a user is received; please refer to (B) of FIG. 15, based on the end position of the dragging operation, the display sizes of the first display window and the second display window in the first split-screen display interface are adjusted.

[0147] Optionally, during the adjustment of the display size of the first display window and the second display window in the first split-screen display interface, there can be a critical value for unsplitting, for example, when the split line makes the display area of one of the display windows insufficient for clearly and completely displaying the application content, it indicates that the user can need to unsplit the display of the application and display the interface of another application in full screen. Then, refer to FIG. 16, which is an example diagram of a split-screen window adjustment interface provided by another embodiment of the present application. As shown in (A) of FIG. 16, if the split line is dragged by the user to the critical position so that the display area of the first display window 510 is less than the preset area, then as shown in (B) of FIG. 16, the electronic device exits the display of the first display window 510 and displays the second display window 520 in full screen.

[0148] Optionally, usually the user is not clear about the specific value of the preset area when dragging the split line, and thus is not clear about the position to which the split line is dragged to make the split screen unsplit, which leads to the user's misoperation when dragging the split line, and the user mistakenly drags the split line to the critical value when not intending to split the screen, and the user needs to re-create the split screen and re-set after the split screen is unsplit, which greatly affects the user's operation experience.

[0149] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, refer to FIG. 17, which is an example diagram of a split-screen window adjustment interface provided by another embodiment of the present application. As shown in (A) of FIG. 17, the drag operation of the user on the split line 540 between the first display window 510 and the second display window 520 is received, and it is judged whether there is a display window with a display area less than the preset area according to the current position of the split line 540, that is, it is predicted whether the drag end position of the split line 540 if the drag operation is ended will cause the area of a display window to be less than the preset area; if so, an unsplitting prompt information (solid line box) that “release the hand to unsplit the screen” is displayed in the first split-screen display interface, so that the user is prompted that the split screen will be unsplit if the drag operation is ended at this time, and the user is explicitly informed of the adjustment effect of the current drag operation on the display window. As shown in (B) of FIG. 17, since the unsplitting prompt information is displayed, if the current position of the split line makes a display window with a display area less than the preset area exist all the time, the unsplitting prompt information will also be displayed all the time; and if a display window with a display area less than the preset area exists and it is monitored that there is no display window with a display area less than the preset area, that is, the user drags the split line back to a position where there is no display window with a display area less than the preset area in the current page, the display of the unsplitting prompt information can be cancelled (dashed line box). Through the prompt information, the current window split-screen effect is calculated in real time according to the position of the split line, which effectively avoids the user's misoperation.

[0150] In the embodiment of the present application, a display method is provided. A user can drag a division line between a first display window and a second display window to control the display proportion of the two windows. Specifically, the display proportion of the two windows is divided according to the end position of the drag operation of the division line as the position of the division line. When the end position of the drag operation of the division line makes the display area of the first display window smaller than a preset area, the display of the first display window is exited, and the second display window is displayed in full screen. In addition, during the drag operation of the user, whether the drag operation will result in the canceling of the split screen display is predicted according to the position of the division line. When the drag operation will result in the canceling of the split screen display, a prompt information is displayed to the user to inform the user that the end of the drag operation will result in the canceling of the split screen display, thereby effectively avoiding the misoperation of the user on the division line and facilitating the control of the split screen by the user.
