Multi-Window Disposition Automation for Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices struggle to efficiently manage multiple windows in a multi-window environment, requiring users to manually switch applications and adjust window sizes, which is inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor configured to automatically change window dispositions or provide a user interface for change when an event related to an application occurs, allowing for improved user convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple windows are displayed simultaneously, then information display capability is improved, but user operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-arranges window dispositions and establishes default behaviors for application events. When an application event occurs, the predetermined window disposition is automatically applied without requiring user intervention, thus resolving the contradiction between displaying multiple applications and maintaining ease of operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If window size is manually adjusted, then display customization is improved, but operation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages window sizes and dispositions based on application events and predefined rules. Instead of requiring manual user adjustment, the window management system serves itself by autonomously optimizing window configurations, thereby eliminating the time loss associated with manual adjustments while maintaining adaptability.
3Ease of operation
If automatic window management is implemented, then user convenience is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines event detection, window disposition determination, and window rendering into an integrated automated system. By merging these functions and establishing unified event-response mechanisms, the system achieves automatic window management that improves user convenience while containing complexity through functional integration rather than separate complex components.

AI summary
An electronic device includes a display; and at least one processor operatively connected to the display, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: control the display to display a plurality of windows displaying a plurality of execution screens corresponding to a plurality of applications, wherein a first execution screen corresponding to a first application among the plurality of applications is displayed in a first window having a first size, and a second execution screen corresponding to a second application among the plurality of applications is displayed in a second window having a second size that is smaller than the first size; obtain an event related to the second application; and based on obtaining the event related to the second application, control the display to change a window that displays the second execution screen of the second application or display a user interface (UI) related to a multi-window disposition in the second window.
