Screenshot Floating Window Sharing to Cut Multi-Step UI Actions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for sharing a screenshot image are cumbersome and inefficient, requiring multiple steps and interactions to select and send the image to another user.
Innovation Solution
A method that displays a screenshot image in a floating window after capturing it, allowing users to drag the window to share it with other objects, maintaining the window as the top layer during the process to simplify the sharing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the traditional multi-step sharing process is used, then the screenshot image can be shared to another user, but the number of operations required is large and the process is cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by automatically generating and displaying the screenshot image in a floating window immediately after capture, before the user initiates sharing. The system pre-prepares the image for sharing and maintains it as the top layer, so when the user triggers sharing, the image is already ready and visible, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple menus and reducing the number of operations required.
2Ease of operation
If the screenshot image is displayed in a floating window as the top layer, then the sharing operation is simplified, but the window management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing the floating window to serve multiple functions: displaying the screenshot image, maintaining it as the top layer during various operations, and serving as the interface for sharing. This multi-functional design consolidates what would otherwise require separate components (image display, layer management, sharing interface) into a single unified structure, reducing overall system complexity despite the advanced window management capabilities.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present application provide a screenshot image sharing method and device, a terminal and a storage medium. The method comprises: when a screenshot instruction is received, performing screenshot processing on a first user interface to obtain a screenshot image; displaying a floating window on an upper layer of the first user interface; displaying a second user interface in response to a first operation signal for triggering display of the second user interface; and sharing, in response to a second operation signal acting on the floating window, the screenshot image to a target object corresponding to the second user interface. According to the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, the operation required for sharing the screenshot image to other objects can be reduced, and the image sharing efficiency is improved.
