Split-Screen Display Layout Using Same-Layer Animation Views
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of screen splitting operations in electronic devices, such as tablets and foldable mobile phones, is increased by the need for additional layers to display split-screen animation effects, making maintenance difficult.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device determines hot zones based on the applications' support for top-bottom and left-right split-screens, allowing split-screen animation effects to be displayed on the same layer, and enables seamless switching between split-screen modes without requiring additional layers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If additional layers are added to display split-screen animation effects, then the animation effect can be displayed, but the code complexity increases and maintenance becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the animation effect display from a separate layer structure and integrates it into the existing view box layer. By removing the need for additional layers and using the existing layer structure to display both content and animation effects, the code complexity is reduced while maintaining the animation functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the animation effect display with the existing view box layer structure. Instead of using separate layers for animation effects, the solution merges the animation rendering into the same layer where content is displayed, thereby reducing overall system complexity while preserving visual effects.
2Productivity
If hot zones are determined based on application support for split-screen modes, then the screen splitting operation is optimized, but the determination logic becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by determining which applications support top-bottom and left-right split-screen modes in advance. This allows the system to pre-configure hot zones based on application capabilities before the actual screen splitting operation occurs, improving efficiency while managing complexity through advance preparation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by determining hot zones differently based on the specific application's split-screen support. Different applications receive different hot zone configurations tailored to their capabilities, optimizing screen splitting for each application while managing overall system complexity through localized determination logic.

AI summary
This disclosure provides a screen display method and a related electronic device. The method includes: determining, based on a case whether both a floating window application and a current display interface application support top-bottom split-screen, whether to perform a screen splitting operation in a regular hot zone-based manner or an irregular hot zone-based manner. After the screen splitting operation starts, a View box for displaying animation effect content is obtained by adjusting a size and a location of a View box on a same layer.
