Dynamic Split-Screen Gesture Control for Terminal Multitasking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing split-screen displaying methods on terminals are complex and inefficient, requiring multiple clicks to adjust the number of split-screen regions, which limits user productivity when handling multiple applications simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A split-screen displaying method that allows users to simultaneously perform dragging operations on multiple split-screen regions to dynamically create and close split-screen regions, simplifying the process of expanding or collapsing the split-screen layout.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the terminal uses a single-way split-screen control method, then the implementation is simple, but the operation complexity increases and user efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static split-screen control into a dynamic gesture-based system. Users can perform dragging operations on split-screen regions to dynamically adjust the number of regions, replacing the need for complex multi-step controls with intuitive continuous gestures that adapt to user needs in real-time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical click-based control system with a gesture-based interaction system. Instead of requiring users to click buttons or menus to adjust split-screen regions, the system detects and responds to dragging gestures, simplifying the interaction mechanism while maintaining control functionality
2Productivity
If the user clicks split-screen control to increase or decrease split regions, then the control is precise, but the time consumption increases and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables preliminary action by allowing users to initiate split-screen region adjustment through dragging gestures without needing to first access control menus or buttons. The system prepares and executes the split-screen adjustment operation directly in response to the gesture, eliminating intermediate steps and reducing time consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements continuous useful action through gesture-based control. Instead of discrete click operations that require separate actions for each adjustment, users can perform continuous dragging gestures to smoothly adjust split-screen regions, maintaining productive action flow and reducing idle time between operations

AI summary
A split-screen displaying method includes: displaying a user interface comprising at least two split-screen regions; receiving a first dragging operation performed on a first split-screen region of the at least two split-screen regions and a second dragging operation performed on a second split-screen region of the at least two split-screen regions; wherein the first dragging operation and the second dragging operation are performed simultaneously; displaying a third split-screen region in the user interface in the case that the first dragging operation and the second dragging operation satisfy a screen splitting condition, wherein the third split-screen region is located between the first split-screen region and the second split-screen region.
