Intelligent Terminal Split-Screen Window Arrangement via Touch Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for displaying multiple windows on a large screen in a split-screen manner are cumbersome and inaccurate, requiring repeated mouse operations to adjust window positions, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
An intelligent terminal connected to a large-screen display receives touch-point position information and controls the windows to be displayed in a split-screen format based on preset conditions, including alignment and distance thresholds, allowing for touch-controlled split-screen arrangement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user adjusts window positions by operating a mouse and switching among multiple windows, then the windows can be arranged on the large-screen display, but the operation becomes complicated and accurate split screen cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical mouse-based window arrangement system with a touch-based system. The large-screen display detects touch operations directly on the screen surface, allowing users to drag and arrange windows by touching and sliding their fingers on the display area. This substitution eliminates the need for mouse operations and window switching, providing both simplified operation and accurate positioning through direct touch interaction with the display surface.
2Manufacturing precision
If the user repeatedly moves the mouse and switches windows to adjust window positions, then better split screen can be achieved, but the operation becomes more complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The touch-based system allows users to directly position windows at their desired locations in a single operation. When the user touches and drags a window to a target position on the large-screen display, the window is immediately arranged at that position without requiring repeated adjustments. This preliminary positioning action eliminates the need for iterative mouse movements and window switching, significantly reducing the time required for window arrangement while maintaining accurate split-screen layout.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional mouse operations are used to arrange windows, then multiple windows can be displayed, but the user experience deteriorates due to complicated operations
Solution Approach 1:
The large-screen display performs self-detection of touch operations and automatically processes window arrangement based on user input. When the user touches and drags windows on the display surface, the system automatically detects the touch-point position information, calculates the arrangement, and executes the window positioning without requiring additional control operations. This self-service mechanism simplifies the interaction process while maintaining full multi-window display capability, significantly improving user experience.
Data Source
AI summary
A method, apparatus and device for displaying windows in a split-screen manner are provided, which are applied to an intelligent terminal. The intelligent terminal is connected to the large-screen display, and the large-screen display displays the multiple windows. The intelligent terminal receives, in real time, the touch-point position information sent by the large-screen display, where the touch-point position information is acquired by the large-screen display when the operation which drags the at least two windows is detected, and there is a touch point in the preset dragging region of each of the at least two windows. In a case that the intelligent terminal determines that the touch-point position information meets the preset position condition and receives the touch-point disappearing information sent by the large-screen display, the intelligent terminal controls the at least two windows to be displayed in the split-screen manner.
