Split-Screen Display Layout for Internal and External Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current split-screen display modes in terminal devices lack diversity in displayed content, as they only show internal application data and do not effectively integrate external data or allow flexible audio source control and focus switching.
Innovation Solution
A split-screen display method and apparatus that divides the display into a main window for internal data and a sub-window for external data, allowing flexible audio source selection and focus switching, with modes like PBP and PIP for varying window configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display only shows internal application data through internal data channel, then the system is simple and reliable, but the display content lacks diversity
Solution Approach 1:
The display window is segmented into multiple regions (first display area for internal data channel, second display area for external data channel), allowing independent data streams to be processed and displayed separately. This segmentation enables the system to handle both internal and external data sources simultaneously without mixing them, thus increasing display content diversity while maintaining system organization and reliability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display integrates external data channel, then display content diversity increases, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is designed with multi-functionality to handle both internal data channel (from installed applications) and external data channel (from other terminal devices) through the same display hardware. The system can selectively activate different data channels based on user needs, making the display versatile without requiring separate hardware for each function, thus integrating complexity into software control rather than hardware architecture.
3Ease of operation
If audio source is fixed to one window, then the system is simple, but user flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The audio output source is made dynamic and adjustable rather than fixed. The system allows users to switch the audio output between the first window (internal application) and the second window (external device) based on real-time needs. This dynamic control is implemented through software settings that can change audio routing without hardware reconfiguration, providing operational flexibility with minimal added complexity.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a split-screen display method, apparatus, display, terminal device and storage medium. The method includes receiving a split-screen display instruction, where the split-screen display instruction includes split-screen mode information and display information, the display information is used to determine a data source of content displayed in a sub-window; and dividing a display window into a main window and a sub-window based on the split-screen display instruction, where the main window includes an internal data channel window of the display, and the sub-window includes an external data channel window of the display. In this way, the display can not only display the internal data of the display through the internal data channel, but also display the external data of other terminal devices through the external data channel, and at the same time realize split-screen display of internal data and external data, thereby increasing the diversity of the display content, meeting the user demand for split-screen display of the external data of the display, facilitating user operation, and improving the experience of the user.
