Solution Overview

Problem

Current operation systems of electronic devices do not support seamless window movement, window management, and shortcut operations in dual-screen display modes, affecting user experience.

Innovation Solution

A display interface control method and apparatus that determine and display a window's parameters in a second screen based on operations in a first screen, allowing for smooth window transitions and management across multiple screens.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If current operation systems are used in dual-screen display mode, then basic display function is maintained, but window movement, window management, and shortcut operations are not supported, affecting user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewindow management operationVSAvoiddual-screen display support
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent copies the window management interaction logic from single-screen mode to dual-screen mode. When a window is dragged to the boundary between screens, the system copies the window to the other screen and automatically adjusts its position and display parameters, enabling seamless cross-screen window management without requiring separate interaction logic for each screen configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic adaptation of window management behavior based on screen configuration. The system dynamically detects whether the device is in single-screen or dual-screen mode and adjusts the window management strategy accordingly, enabling flexible support for different display configurations through a unified operation system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If window is moved from first display screen to second display screen, then cross-screen window management is achieved, but display parameter adjustment and seamless transition require complex control logic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecross-screen window displayVSAvoidwindow management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes display parameters (position, size, orientation) based on the target screen configuration. When a window is moved to the second screen, the system automatically adjusts its display parameters to match the second screen's characteristics, enabling seamless adaptation to different screen configurations through parameter transformation rather than complex structural changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal window management mechanism that handles both single-screen and dual-screen modes through the same interaction paradigm. The drag-and-drop operation works consistently across different screen configurations, with the system universally applying the same window movement logic regardless of whether the destination is the same screen or a different screen

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A display interface control method, a display interface control apparatus and a storage medium are provided in the present disclosure. The display interface control method includes determining a display parameter of a first window in a second display screen based on a first operation of the first window in a first display screen; and displaying the first window in the second display screen based on the display parameter of the first window in the second display screen.
