Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present application include, but are not limited to, a display method and medium for an electronic device and applications thereof.

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In order to facilitate a user to pay attention to a change in display content of one application while using the other application, the application discloses an application display method of an electronic device. Specifically, fig. 1(a) - (b) provide a display scenario of an application of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, in which two applications are displayed simultaneously as an example, where a first application is an instant chat application 102 and a second application is a navigation application 101.

Specifically, fig. 1(a) shows a display interface of the navigation application 101. In this scenario, if the user selects to hover the navigation application 101, the electronic device 100 may hover the navigation application 101 on another interface, for example, the user switches to the instant chat application 102, as shown in fig. 1(b), the view system of the electronic device 100 hovers the entire display interface of the navigation application 101 within the display interface of the instant chat application 102 in the form of a small-sized window, and the display interface of the navigation application 101 is displayed within the hover window. The electronic device 100 may also drag in the screen of the electronic device 100 to change the position of the floating window based on the gesture operation of the user.

In addition to the view system hovering the entire display interface of the navigation application 101 within the display interface of the instant chat application 102 in the form of a small-sized window, in order to make the user more clearly see the display content change of the navigation application 101, in some other embodiments of the present application, only the portion of the navigation application 101 where the display content has changed may be displayed within the hovering window. For example, fig. 2 shows another scene diagram of two applications simultaneously displayed in the screen of the electronic device 100 in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, after the user selects to hover and display the navigation application 101, the view system of the electronic device 100 hovers a partial display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 within the display interface of the instant chat application 102 as a hover window in the form of a small-sized window, where the partial display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 displayed in the hover window is a portion of the navigation application 101 where the displayed content changes over time. Meanwhile, the electronic device 100 may further receive that the user performs a gesture operation on the display interface of the navigation application 101 in the floating window to change the display content of the display interface of the navigation application 101 in the floating window. Also, the user may also click on the "close" button 1018 or the "full screen" button 1019 in the partial display area 1011, causing the navigation application 101 to close or to display full screen within the screen of the electronic device 100.

By the method, the electronic device 100 can display the display content of the display interface of the first application which needs to be paid attention to by the user in real time in the display interface of the second application or the desktop in a floating window mode, so that the user can conveniently pay attention to the change of the first application while using the second application on the premise of not switching the two applications. In addition, by displaying part of the display area of the first application in the floating window, the area concerned by the user can be displayed to the user more clearly, and the problem that the display content in the floating window becomes unclear due to the fact that the floating window displays the whole display interface of the first application in a shrinking mode is avoided. It is understood that the first application and the second application may be third-party applications installed on the electronic device 100, or may be system applications of the electronic device 100 itself, for example, the first application and the second application may be applications such as a desktop and settings of the electronic device 100.

In the scenario diagram shown in fig. 2, the electronic device 100 may be a variety of electronic devices, for example, the electronic device 100 includes, but is not limited to, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a cell phone, a server, a wearable device, a head-mounted display, a mobile email device, a portable game console, a portable music player, a reader device, or other electronic device capable of accessing a network. In some embodiments, embodiments of the present application may also be applied to wearable devices worn by a user. For example, a smart watch, bracelet, piece of jewelry (e.g., a device made as a decorative item such as an earring, bracelet, or the like) or glasses, or the like, or as part of a watch, bracelet, piece of jewelry or glasses, or the like.

It is understood that various applications, such as a video conference application, an instant chat application, a video playing application, a navigation application, and the like, may be installed on the electronic device 100, and these applications may perform on-screen multi-application display by using the technical solution of the present application.

Taking the mobile phone 100 as an example of the electronic device 100, the detailed description will be given by taking an example that a display area is selected from the currently opened navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100 and is displayed on the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 in a floating window manner.

As shown in fig. 4, the technical solution of the display method of the application of the mobile phone 100 includes:

s401: the mobile phone 100 starts the navigation application 101, and prompts the user that the navigation application 101 supports displaying the display interface of the navigation application 101 in a floating window manner.

After the user opens the mobile phone 100, the user may click a "navigation" icon in a User Interface (UI) of the mobile phone 100, and after the mobile phone 100 receives an instruction of a user click operation, the mobile phone 100 starts the navigation application 101. In the case where the mobile phone 100 starts the navigation application 101 for the first time, as shown in fig. 5(a), the guidance interface 1013 that the application supports displaying by way of the floating window is displayed in the display interface of the navigation application 101, for example, the guidance interface 1013 may display a prompt message "selecting an area in the display interface may display it in the floating window" and "continue" and "cancel" buttons. After the user clicks the "cancel" button 1015 in the guidance interface 1013, the guidance interface 1013 of the navigation application 101 exits. After the user clicks the "continue" button 1014 in the guidance interface 1013, the guidance interface 1013 may prompt the user by means of animation an operation method of displaying the display interface of the navigation application 101 by means of the floating window. For example, as shown in fig. 5(b), the guidance interface 1013 prompts the user to select a display area by performing a gesture operation on the display interface of the navigation application 101, and click the "small window display" button 1016, as shown in fig. 5(c), so that the display area 1011 is displayed by way of a floating window. It will be appreciated that within the display area 1011 of fig. 5(c), two buttons "off" and "full screen display" are also included, and that after the user clicks the "off" button 1018 in the display area 1011, the display area 1011 is off. After the user clicks the "full screen" button 1019 in the display area 1011, the navigation application 101 is displayed in full screen on the screen of the handset 100. Here, after the user clicks the "know" button 1020 in the guidance interface 1013 of fig. 5(c), the guidance interface 1013 of the navigation application 101 is closed.

In the embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone 100 may also start the instant chat application 102 in advance in addition to the navigation application 101. After the display area 1011 displayed in the floating window manner is determined by the navigation application 101, the mobile phone 100 can display the display area 1011 on the display interface of the instant chat application 102.

S402: the handset 100 determines a display area 1011 in the display of the navigation application 101.

Here, the display area 1011 in the display interface of the navigation application 101 may be a local area in the display interface of the navigation application 101, which may be determined by the mobile phone 100 according to a selection gesture performed by the user on the display interface of the navigation application 101.

As shown in fig. 6(a), in some embodiments, the gesture recognition module of the mobile phone 100 may recognize a selection gesture performed by the user on the display interface of the navigation application 101, and the gesture recognition module obtains a track of the selection gesture and sends an area selected by the selection gesture to the view system of the mobile phone 100. As shown in fig. 6(c), the view system of the cell phone 100 determines the area as a display area 1011 in the display interface of the navigation application 101.

At the same time, the viewing system of the handset 100 may also determine the size and location of the display area 1011 in the display interface of the navigation application 101. For example, the display interface of the navigation application 101 may be 90mm × 120mm (length × width), and the view system of the cell phone 100 may determine that the display area 1011 corresponding to the trajectory of the user's selection gesture may be 20mm × 19mm (length × width). The display area 1011 may be located 10mm from the left border, 10mm from the border on the display interface of the navigation application 101. The process of the handset 100 determining the display area 1011 in the display interface of the navigation application 101 will be described in detail below.

In other embodiments, the handset 100 may also automatically determine the display area 1011 in the display interface of the navigation application 101, and the implementation of the method will be described in detail below.

S403: the cell phone 100 displays the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 by way of a floating window.

Here, after the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 is determined, as shown in fig. 6(b) to 6(c), the view system of the mobile phone 100 enters the preview interface 120, and a "small window display" button 1202 is provided in the preview interface 120 to set the display area 1011 to be displayed by way of a floating window. In response to the user clicking the "small window display" button 1202 in the preview interface 120, the view system of the cell phone 100 displays the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 in the floating window manner at the display position of the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the cell phone 100. As described in step S402, the size of the display area 1011 determined by the user may be determined to be 20mm × 19mm (length × width), for example, while the default display position may be a position 10mm and 10mm from the right boundary on the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the handset 100. That is, the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 is displayed at the upper right of the display interface of the instant chat application 102.

In an embodiment of the present application, after the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 is determined, the view system of the mobile phone 100 sets the navigation application 101 on a first layer, and sets the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 on a second layer, where the first layer is overlaid on the second layer. That is, the mobile phone 100 runs the navigation application 101 in the first image layer, and the mobile phone 100 runs the display interface of the instant chat application 102 in the second image layer. The cellular phone 100 sets the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 to be visible, for example, an area of 20mm × 19mm (length × width) in size from the boundary of 20mm, 19mm on the left boundary on the display interface of the navigation application 101 to be visible, and an area outside the display area to be transparent. In addition, the mobile phone 100 positions the mobile navigation application 101 in the first image layer so that the display area 1011 thereof is located at the display position of the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 in the second image layer. Thus, the user can browse the display content of the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 in the second image layer through the area outside the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101, and at the same time, the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 can be displayed on the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 in a floating window manner, and the user can also browse the display content of the display area of the navigation application 101 in real time.

It will be appreciated that after the cell phone 100 moves the display area of the navigation application 101 to the display position of the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the cell phone 100 in the second image layer, the portion of the display interface of the navigation application 101 in the first view will be outside the boundaries of the screen of the cell phone 100. Here, the display position of the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 may be a parameter preset in the storage area of the mobile phone 100.

When the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 is on the display interface of the instant chat application 102, the display content of the navigation application 101 in the display area 1011 changes in real time. That is, after the mobile phone 100 sets the navigation application 101 in the first layer, the navigation application 101 is still in the running state, and therefore, the display content in the display interface of the navigation application 101 also changes in real time. If the display content in the display area 1011 belongs to the display content in the display interface of the navigation application 101, the display content of the navigation application 101 in the display area 1011 on the display interface of the chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 also changes in real time. For example, as shown in fig. 7(a) to (b), the navigation information in the display interface of the navigation application 101 changes, for example, the route of the navigation information changes after the vehicle runs for a certain period of time, and the change of the navigation information updates the change in the display area 1011 on the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 in real time.

S404: the cellular phone 100 determines whether a gesture operation performed by the user in the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 is detected.

After the mobile phone 100 receives a gesture operation performed by the user in the display area of the navigation application 101, S405 is performed, and the mobile phone 100 changes the display content in the display area in response to the gesture operation.

S405: the cellular phone 100 changes the display contents within the display area 1011.

Here, the navigation application 101 of the handset 100 runs in a first layer, and the first layer is overlaid on top of a second layer. Therefore, the first layer is a current view in the screen of the mobile phone 100, that is, a gesture operation performed by the user on the screen of the mobile phone 100 acts on the first layer. If the gesture operation of the user is acted in the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100, which is equivalent to acting on the display interface of the navigation application 101, after the gesture recognition module of the mobile phone 100 recognizes the gesture operation, the navigation application 101 may respond to the instruction corresponding to the gesture operation, so that the display content of the navigation application 101 in the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100 is changed.

For example, as shown in fig. 8(a), a user performs a gesture to expand the display content of the navigation application 101 in the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100, and after the gesture recognition module of the mobile phone 100 recognizes the gesture operation, the navigation application 101 responds to the gesture, the display content of the navigation application 101 in the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100 is expanded and displayed, and the gesture does not act on the display interface of the instant chat application 102. As another example, as shown in fig. 8(b) to 8(c), the user performs a pull-down gesture on the display content of the navigation application 101 in the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100, and after the gesture recognition module of the mobile phone 100 recognizes the gesture operation, the navigation application 101 is made to respond to the gesture, and the display content of the navigation application 101 in the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 moves downward. Likewise, the gesture does not work with the display interface of the instant chat application 102.

S406: the cellular phone 100 determines whether or not a gesture operation performed by the user in an area other than the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 is detected.

After the mobile phone 100 receives the gesture operation performed by the user in the area other than the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101, S407 is performed, and the mobile phone 100 changes the display content of the instant chat application 102 in response to the gesture operation.

S407: the handset 100 changes the display content of the instant chat application 102.

Here, in S403, although the area outside the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100 is set to be transparent, since the navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100 is still running in the first drawing layer, the gesture operation performed by the user in the area outside the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 is also applied to the display interface of the navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100. At this time, if the mobile phone 100 determines that the user is a gesture operation performed in an area outside the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100, the mobile phone 100 acquires an instruction corresponding to the gesture operation and causes the instruction not to be performed in the first image layer, the mobile phone 100 transmits the instruction corresponding to the gesture operation to the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 in the second image layer, and the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 may respond to the instruction corresponding to the gesture operation, so that the display content of the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 is changed.

For example, as shown in fig. 9(a) to 9(b), the user performs a bottom-up sliding gesture in a region outside the display region 1011 of the navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100, for example, in a region of the display interface of the instant chat application 102, after obtaining an instruction corresponding to the gesture operation, the mobile phone 100 determines that the user performs in the region outside the display region 1011 of the navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100, and the mobile phone 100 transmits the instruction corresponding to the bottom-up sliding gesture to the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 in the second layer, at this time, the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 responds to the instruction corresponding to the bottom-up sliding gesture, and the display content of the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 achieves an effect of moving up.

The following describes a process of determining the display area 1011 in the display interface of the navigation application 101 by the mobile phone 100 described in S402.

S402 a: the handset 100 receives a selection gesture performed by a user on the display interface of the navigation application 101.

In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 6(a), a user may manually select a local area of the display interface of the navigation application 101 through a selection gesture, and the gesture recognition module of the mobile phone 100 may recognize a track of the selection gesture. The display interface of the navigation application 101 here may be a display interface displaying changes in navigation information, such as: the route of the navigation.

Here, the user may select a local area on the screen of the mobile phone 100 to the display interface of the navigation application 101 through a selection gesture of a finger joint sliding. In this way, conflicts with default gestures supported by the navigation application 101 may be avoided.

The gesture recognition module may be any module that is currently used to implement gesture recognition or finger joint recognition, and is not limited herein.

S402 b: the handset 100 selects a local area within the display interface of the navigation application 101 according to the trajectory of the selection gesture.

After recognizing the trajectory of the selection gesture of the user, the gesture recognition module of the mobile phone 100 sends the trajectory to the view system of the mobile phone 100. The view system of the mobile phone 100 uses the local area corresponding to the track as a display area according to the local area.

Here, the local area of the display interface of the navigation application 101 selected by the user through the selection gesture may be display content included in a trajectory formed within the display interface of the navigation application 101 by the selection gesture performed by the user. Here, the view system of the mobile phone 100 sets a method for monitoring a gesture event, for example, an ontouchvent method, on a view in which the display interface of the navigation application 101 is located, and the method identifies a trajectory of a selection gesture of the user by starting a gesture recognition module of the mobile phone 100. That is, when the user presses or contacts the screen of the cellular phone 100 with a conductor, the method may detect a location of pressing or contacting the screen of the cellular phone 100, which may be simply referred to as a touch point. When the gesture recognition module detects a contact point, it may be determined that a user's selection gesture is detected. Wherein the selection gesture may be a gesture that slides within the screen of the cell phone 100.

When a user executes a selection gesture in the screen of the mobile phone 100, that is, in the display interface of the navigation application 101, the method for monitoring a gesture event may obtain an x coordinate value and a y coordinate value that the selection gesture passes through in the display interface of the navigation application 101, and after the user completes the selection gesture, the method for monitoring a gesture event may calculate a trajectory formed by the selection gesture according to the x coordinate value and the y coordinate value, and determine a local area corresponding to the trajectory.

As shown in fig. 6(a), the trajectory formed by the user's selection gesture may be a closed region or a non-closed region. When the track formed by the selection gesture of the user is a closed area, the selected local area of the display interface of the navigation application 101 is the display content in the closed area. When the trajectory formed by the selection gesture of the user is a non-closed region, the selected local region of the display interface of the navigation application 101 may be the display content in the region formed between the trajectory formed by the selection gesture of the user and the left-right boundary or the upper-lower boundary of the screen of the mobile phone 100.

For example, when the trajectory formed by the selection gesture of the user is a straight line or a curved line, the local area of the display interface of the selected navigation application 101 is the display content in the area formed by the straight line, the curved line, or the circular arc and the left and right boundaries or the upper and lower boundaries of the screen. When the trajectory formed by the selection gesture of the user is a non-closed region, the selected local region of the display interface of the navigation application 101 may also be the display content in the closed region obtained after the non-closed region is completed. For example, when the trajectory formed by the selection gesture of the user is a V-shape or an arc shape, the display content of the selected current display page is the display content in the closed area obtained after the completion of the V-shape or the arc shape. The completion can be that the notched parts are directly connected, or the non-closed regions are completed according to the symmetry principle, or the non-closed regions are completed into a regular pattern according to the shape of the non-closed regions, etc.

S402 c: the mobile phone 100 adjusts a local area of the display interface of the navigation application 101 to form a display area of the navigation application 101.

It can be understood that after the view system of the mobile phone 100 determines that the user selects the local area of the display interface of the navigation application 101 through the selection gesture, the mobile phone 100 may enter the preview interface 120 of the local area of the display interface of the navigation application 101, and in the preview interface 120, the view system of the mobile phone 100 may expand the local area to form a rectangle, or other shapes such as a circle and a diamond frame, as the preview area 1201. For example, as shown in fig. 6(b), in the case that the trajectory formed by the user through the selection gesture is a circular closed region, the view system of the mobile phone 100 may form a preview region 1201 by circumscribing a quadrilateral on the circular closed region, for example, the preview region 1201 may be a region with a size of 20mm × 19mm (length × width). Meanwhile, in the preview interface 120, the user may resize the preview area 1201 again through a gesture. For example, the user may adjust the size of the display area by dragging four sides of a rectangle formed by the preview area 1201, or the user may adjust the position of the preview area 1201 in the display interface of the navigation application 101 by pressing and holding the rectangle formed by dragging the preview area 1201. The view system of the handset 100 may also store the size of the preview area 1201 in its own storage area, as well as the default location of the preview area 1201. For example, the size of the preview area 1201 may be 20mm × 19mm (length × width), and the default position of the preview area 1201 may be the distance from the center of the preview area 1201 to the four sides of the display interface of the navigation application 101.

It is understood that, besides the method for the mobile phone 100 to determine the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 by the user performing a selection gesture on the display interface of the navigation application 101 in step S402, several other methods for the mobile phone 100 to determine the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 in step S402 will be described below.

The mobile phone 100 can automatically select the display area 1011 in the display interface of the navigation application 101 through the selection function of the display area of the control center of the mobile phone. After receiving an instruction of a user to start a selection function provided in a control center of the mobile phone 100, the mobile phone 100 enters an application local area selection mode. In the selection mode, the view system of the mobile phone 100 may select a display area in the display interface of the navigation application 101 as described in S402.

The instant chat application 102 and the video playing application 105 are executed in the mobile phone 100 as an example. In fig. 10(a) the user opens the video playback application 105 and the instant chat application 102 on the mobile phone 100 and switches to the video playback application 105. After the user performs a gesture of sliding down on the display interface of the video playing application 105, the mobile phone 100 enters the display interface of the control center 201. In fig. 10(b), a button 2011 named "partial window" is provided on the display interface of the control center 201. After the user presses the "local window" button 2011, the cell phone 100 enters the selection interface 202 for local area selection on the display interface of the video playback application 105. In fig. 10(c), in the selection interface 202, a rectangular preview frame 2021 for selecting a local area and a "small window display" button 2022 are displayed, a user may adjust the size of the local area of the display interface of the selected video playing application 105 by dragging four sides of the preview frame 2021, or a user may adjust the position of the preview frame in the display interface of the video playing application 105 by pressing the dragged preview frame 2021, so as to select the local area of the display interface of the video playing application 105 as the display area. In fig. 10(d), after the user determines the display area in the display interface of the video playback application 105, the user may proceed to S403 by clicking the "small window display" button 2022, and as shown in fig. 10(e), the view system of the mobile phone 100 displays the display area 1051 of the video of the display interface of the video playback application 105 on the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 through the floating window.

In another embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone 100 may implement the display area 1011 in the display interface of the navigation application 101 determined by the mobile phone 100 described in the above S402 through the floating window display mode of the display area.

Unlike the method described above, in the floating window display mode, the view system of the mobile phone 100 may detect and determine an area in the display interface of the navigation application 101 where the display content may dynamically change, and determine the display area 1012 of the navigation application 101 from the area where the display content may dynamically change. The area where the display content is dynamically changed is described herein, which means that the display content in an area of a display interface of an application is changed in a period of time. As shown in fig. 11(a), for the display interface of the navigation application 101, the contained dynamically changed area may be the area where the map is located, and the type thereof may be map view MapView. The display content in the area where the map view is located may change in real time, the view system of the mobile phone 100 may detect each area in the display interface of the navigation application 101, and when the change of the display content exceeds a change threshold, for example, 10 Frames Per Second change occurs, that is, the refresh frequency of the display content is 10FPS, where FPS refers to the number of transmission Frames Per Second (FPS, Frames Per Second), that is, the number of Frames refreshed in the display content Per Second, and 10FPS refers to the number of Frames refreshed in the display content within one Second, which is 10 Frames. The viewing system of the handset 100 confirms that the region belongs to a region where the display content is dynamically changing. In fig. 11(b), after the view system of the mobile phone 100 determines the area where the content in the navigation application 101 dynamically changes, the mobile phone 100 may radiate from the center of the dynamically changing area to the periphery of the dynamically changing area to form a rectangular display area 1011, and the view system of the mobile phone 100 proceeds to S403, and displays the display area 1011 on the display interface of the instant chat application 102 through the floating window.

It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the view system of the handset 100 may determine which views belong to a dynamically changing region from a list of view types pre-stored in its own memory region. As another example, for the video playing application 105, the contained dynamically changing region may be a video playing view, and the type may be VideoView.

For the above-mentioned floating window display mode, the mobile phone 100 may further set a button for entering/exiting the floating window display mode for an application that has been opened. For example, as shown in fig. 12(a) to 12(b), the user may click on a "floating window display" button 1052 on the display interface of the video playback application 105, so that the cell phone 100 determines a display area 1051 of the video of the display interface of the video playback application 105 and displays it in a floating window. After the mobile phone 100 displays the floating window in the video playing area of the video playing application 105, the user may also click the "exit floating window display" button 1053 in the floating window, so that the mobile phone 100 cancels the display of the floating window in the video displaying area 1051 of the video playing application 105.

In another embodiment of the present application, the floating window display mode of the mobile phone 100 may also be used for a pop-up application on the mobile phone 100 to implement the display area 1011 in the display interface of the navigation application 101 determined by the mobile phone 100 described in the above S402.

Different from the effect of the floating window display mode described above, after the mobile phone 100 starts the floating window display mode, in the floating window display mode, when the mobile phone 100 detects that the display content of the application running in the background changes, the mobile phone prompts the user whether to display the application in the floating window manner, so that the user can pay attention to the display content of the application at any time. For example, as shown in fig. 13(a), when the display interface of the instant chat application 102 is displayed in the screen of the mobile phone 100, the upper part of the screen of the mobile phone 100 prompts the user that the display content of the display interface of the navigation application 101 running in the background changes and whether to click to view. If the user clicks the ignore button, the cell phone 100 will not prompt the user to change the display content of the display interface of the navigation application 101. After the user clicks the "click to view" button, as shown in fig. 13(b), the mobile phone 100 prompts the user again whether to display the display interface of the navigation application 101 in the display interface of the instant chat application 102 in the form of a floating window. If the user selects to click "no", the cell phone 100 will not display the display interface of the navigation application 101 through the floating window. If the user selects "yes" click, the view system of the handset 100 can display the display interface of the navigation application 101 in the display interface of the instant chat application 102 by way of a floating window, as shown in fig. 13 (c).

It is understood that the above process of selecting the display area of the application popped up on the mobile phone 100 and displaying the application through the floating window may be the same as that described in steps S402 and S403, and the description is not repeated here.

In addition to the above-described scenario in which the mobile phone 100 displays a single application on the display interface of another application in a floating window manner, in an embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone 100 may also display multiple applications in a floating window manner.

Here, the mobile phone 100 may start an application floating display function, after starting the function, the view system of the mobile phone 100 may display applications that have run in the background in a list display manner on the screen of the mobile phone 100, and the user may select one or more applications among the applications, so that the applications are displayed in the display interface of the current application in a floating window manner.

The following description will be given taking as an example the navigation application 101, the instant chat application 102, the reading application 103 and the video playing application 105 running in the mobile phone 100, wherein the current application displayed in the screen of the mobile phone 100 is the instant chat application 102. As shown in fig. 14(a), after the user performs a gesture of sliding down on the display interface of the instant chat application 102, the mobile phone 100 enters the display interface 401. In fig. 14(b), a button 4011 named "application floating display" is provided in the display interface of the control center 401. After the user presses the "application floating display" button 4011, the mobile phone 100 enters the list interface 501 of the application currently running in the background. In fig. 14(c), in the list interface 501, the identifications of all applications currently running in the background, for example, the navigation application 101, the reading application 103, and the video playback application 105, are displayed, and the user is prompted to select an application displayed by way of the floating window. The user may determine whether to display each application within the display interface of the current application by clicking on the identification of the application. After the user has selected the applications, as shown in fig. 14(d), in the list interface 501, after the user has selected the navigation application 101 and the video playback application 105, the user can click the "ok" button, as shown in fig. 14(e), and the view system of the mobile phone 100 displays the display interface of the video playback application 105 and the display interface of the navigation application 101 on the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 through the floating window. In FIG. 14(d), the user may also click the "Cancel" button to exit the application hover display function.

In the above step 403, a method for displaying the display area 1011 of the navigation application 101 on the display interface of the instant chat application 102 in the form of a floating window is described, and another implementation method of the above step 403 is described below, in another embodiment of the present application, for the navigation application 101 and the instant chat application 102, the view system of the mobile phone 100 may be used to guide the navigation application 101 and the instant chat application 102

A 10mm area of size 20mm x 19mm (length x width) is cut out so that the user can navigate through the display area to view the display interface of the navigation application 101 in the second layer, the size of the local area being the same as the size of the display area 1011. And the mobile phone 100 positions the mobile navigation application 101 in the second image layer so that the display area position 1011 thereof is aligned with the local area of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 in the first image layer. Therefore, the user can browse the display content of the display area 1011 of the display interface of the navigation application 101 of the mobile phone 100 in the second image layer through the local area of the instant chat application 102, and meanwhile, the display area of the navigation application 101 can be displayed on the display interface of the instant chat application 102 of the mobile phone 100 in a manner similar to a floating window, and the user can also browse the display content of the display area of the navigation application 101 in real time.

It is to be understood that the size of the display area may be the same as the size of the display area in step S402, or may be pre-stored in the storage area of the mobile phone 100, for example, 20mm × 10mm (length × width). In some embodiments, the size of the display area may also be the size of a view in which a dynamically changing area in the display interface of the navigation application 101 is located, and the mobile phone 100 may obtain the size of the view while obtaining the type of the view corresponding to the dynamically changing area, and set the size of the view as the size of the display area.

It is understood that the method of displaying the display interface of the navigation application 101 by means of the floating window within the display interface of the instant chat application 102 is not limited to the handset 100 described in fig. 4. In other embodiments of the present application, the handset 100 launches the navigation application 101, the instant chat application 102, and the reading application 103 and the desktop 104. As shown in fig. 15, in the case that the user needs to browse the navigation application 101, the instant chat application 102, the reading application 103 and the desktop 104 at the same time, the window manager of the mobile phone 100 displays the navigation application 101, the instant chat application 102, the reading application 103 and the desktop 104 in a split screen manner by dividing the screen of the mobile phone 100 into a plurality of windows, combines the navigation application 101, the instant chat application 102, the reading application 103 and the desktop 104 in one main window and a plurality of auxiliary windows, and displays the navigation application 101, the instant chat application 102, the reading application 103 and the desktop 104 respectively, so that the user can pay attention to the applications in each window.

Fig. 16 shows a scene diagram of two applications simultaneously displayed on the screen of the mobile phone 100 in other embodiments of the present application. An instant chat application 102 and a navigation application 101 are run on the screen of the mobile phone 100, the view system of the mobile phone 100 can set the window of the navigation application 101 to a resizable application, and in the case that the navigation application 101 is displayed in a floating window manner, the display style of the display content of the navigation application 101 can be kept the same as the display style of the current display interface of the electronic device 100. For example, the font size, font style, etc. of the navigation application 101 within the floating window is the same as the font size, font style of the instant chat application 102.
