Split Screen Interface Display Method for Mobile Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional screen splitting operations on electronic devices, such as mobile phones, are inconvenient for users, requiring multiple gestures and steps to split the screen and select applications for split-screen display.
Innovation Solution
An interface display method that allows users to perform a single operation on a multi-task interface to select and display two applications on split screens, simplifying the screen splitting process by combining the actions of application selection and split-screen triggering into one operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional screen splitting operations are used, then applications can be displayed on split screens, but the operation process becomes complex and inconvenient for users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the application selection operation and the split-screen triggering operation into a single integrated operation. When a user performs a multi-task operation (such as swiping up from the bottom of the screen), the system directly displays a multi-task interface with application windows that can be selected for split-screen display, eliminating the need for separate selection and triggering steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary preparation by displaying application windows in the multi-task interface before the user finalizes the split-screen selection. The application windows are pre-configured and presented to the user, allowing them to make an informed selection without requiring additional configuration steps.
2Ease of operation
If multiple operations are required for screen splitting, then application selection can be precise, but user convenience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the application selection process and split-screen activation into a single continuous operation. The user selects an application window from the multi-task interface, and the split-screen display is activated immediately upon selection, reducing the total operation time while maintaining precise application selection capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system skips intermediate configuration steps by directly transitioning from application window selection to split-screen display activation. The multi-task interface is designed to facilitate rapid selection, and the system rushes through the activation process by implementing the split-screen display immediately after the user's selection.

AI summary
An interface display method is provided. The method includes: An electronic device displays an interface of a first application in a first display area of a display (501). The electronic device receives a first operation when the electronic device displays the interface of the first application (502). In response to the first operation, the electronic device displays a multi-task interface in the first display area (503), where the multi-task interface includes an application window of a currently running application. The electronic device receives a second operation performed on an application window of a second application in the application windows of the currently running applications (504). In response to the second operation, the electronic device displays the interface of the first application and an interface of the second application in different areas in the first display area (505).
