Embedded Window Display Method for Lock Screen Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience due to complex operations when accessing high-frequency shortcut services on electronic devices, such as unlocking and opening applications, especially on turned-off screens or lock screens.
Innovation Solution
An embedded window display method that starts an embedded window in a parent window based on a preset operation instruction, displaying the embedded window application at the same or adjacent layers, allowing interaction without additional adaptation for any application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional application opening method is used, then application functionality is complete, but user operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds a child window (application interface) within a parent window (system interface), allowing the application to be accessed and operated directly from the lock screen or home screen without fully opening the application. This nesting structure enables users to perform operations like receiving calls or messages while staying in the parent window context, reducing operation steps while maintaining functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the application access process into two parts: the parent window providing system-level access and the child window providing application-specific functionality. This segmentation allows users to access frequently used functions without completing the full application opening sequence, simplifying operations for common tasks while preserving complete access when needed.
2Ease of operation
If embedded window is embedded in parent window, then operation convenience is improved, but window layer management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a window manager as an intermediary component that handles the complex task of managing embedded window layers. The window manager processes creation, display, and interaction requests for child windows within parent windows, abstracting the complexity of layer management from the application logic and providing a standardized interface for window operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal embedded window mechanism that can be applied to any application within any parent window context. The child window system provides multi-functional capabilities including displaying application interfaces, receiving user interactions, and managing layer relationships, making it a versatile solution for various scenarios such as lock screen access, home screen shortcuts, and in-app embeddings.

AI summary
This application relates to the technical field of embedded window display, and provides an embedded window display method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium. The method includes: when detecting a preset operation instruction, starting an embedded window in a currently displayed parent window based on the preset operation instruction; displaying an embedded window application corresponding to the preset operation instruction in the embedded window, where the embedded window and the parent window are at a same layer or adjacent layers, and an application displayed in the embedded window is associated with the parent window; and performing, when receiving an operation instruction of the embedded window application, an interaction operation based on the operation instruction of the embedded window application.
