Split-Screen Display Triggering for Cross-Application Task Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices require manual user intervention to enter a split-screen mode, leading to a cumbersome operation process and limited functionality, particularly in cross-application scenarios.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device is designed to automatically enable a split-screen display mode based on a user's operation within a task, allowing seamless transition between full-screen and split-screen modes without additional manual input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual triggering is used to enter split-screen mode, then the device can display multiple applications simultaneously, but the operation process becomes cumbersome and intelligence is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects when a user intends to switch tasks and autonomously enters split-screen mode without requiring manual activation. The electronic device monitors task switching operations and automatically configures the split-screen display, making the system serve itself rather than requiring continuous user intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares the split-screen display configuration in advance by detecting task switching intentions. When the user performs a task switching operation, the system has already prepared the split-screen mode and can immediately activate it, eliminating the need for separate manual activation steps.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual triggering is used to enter split-screen mode, then the device can display multiple applications simultaneously, but the operation process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system detects task switching operations and automatically activates split-screen mode in response, eliminating the time required for manual mode activation. By monitoring task switching intentions and automatically configuring split-screen display, the system reduces the time loss associated with mode transitions.
3Productivity
If automatic task switching is enabled, then operation efficiency is improved, but the device cannot automatically enter split-screen mode for cross-application scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines automatic task switching detection with automatic split-screen activation. When the user performs a task switching operation, the system autonomously determines whether to enter split-screen mode and configures the display accordingly, enabling both high productivity and cross-application split-screen versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the task switching function with the split-screen mode activation function. Instead of treating them as separate operations, the system combines them into a unified process where task switching automatically triggers split-screen configuration, achieving both efficiency and adaptability.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a split-screen display method and an electronic device. The method includes: An electronic device displays a display interface corresponding to a first task on a display when running a first application to execute the first task; receives, on the display interface corresponding to the first task, a first operation used to enable a second task; and enables a split-screen display mode in response to the first operation. Compared with that in the conventional technology, in the embodiments of the present invention, the split-screen mode can be triggered without an additional manual operation of a user.
