Description of the invention (1) Scope of the invention The present invention relates to computer systems, in particular, a method, system and program product for managing windows on a computer system console. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the past, computer systems, whether standalone or part of a network, were relatively simple, and low-function devices could only execute a single application at any one time. The monitor or console used for the operation of the screen system can only provide the user with a single representation or window of the system operation. As individual systems and networks become more complex, multiple tasks must be performed simultaneously, and system users will begin to demand more than a single operation window or operation window. The most direct method is to dedicate the console to each different window, which has obvious disadvantages of usability, space and cost. Therefore, the most common approach is to develop systems and screens that can represent multiple windows at any time. There are two main methods for displaying multiple windows on the console by arranging windows or boxes in a cascading or block fashion. For the sake of explanation, two proper nouns, window, and, and square, can be regarded as the same thing. In other words, one window occupies less than the entire screen, but still displays ^ one window The important part. Where the squares are arranged in layers, only the topmost squares can be completely seen on this display. The remaining squares 彳 ^ are stacked below the topmost square, and usually only the title bar or even the vertical edges can be seen. The user can simply move any square into the stack by selecting the title bar or other visible parts of the square. Block-shaped windows will not overlap each other but can be used in this display. -4-I paper size suitable for financial @ g 家 standard (CNS) M specifications (21GX 297 public director) " --------- 539959 A7 ______B7 V. Description of the invention (2) Dividing a square horizontally or vertically. Although the block arrangement does not require the selection step of the layered arrangement window, the user can see more poor information in each presentation window. Disadvantages of the known block arrangement techniques include a lack of elasticity. Some techniques limit the user to simple, fixed block arrangements, such as two side-by-side squares or two up and down squares. In such a system, the user cannot have more windows than the fixed number of squares. The only (all-oj ^ nothing) method adopted by its dagger technology is to arrange each open window block-wise. This only method can only be used when the number of open windows is small. As the number of open windows increases, the size of each block must become smaller, reducing the amount of useful information presented to the user. U.S. Patent 5,8880,725-Southgate, in order to overcome some of the problems of prior art in the computer user interface, has a screen with overlapping and block-oriented window areas. If the reading of view 1 is to be displayed in a window area arranged in a block, the window must be reduced to a suitable space, and if necessary, it must be reduced to the smallest allowable size. The method disclosed in this patent can be regarded as a "best fit" method, in which the window can be moved to the available screen space. This method is more flexible when generating the window, and the final grid will be Much smaller than the size required by the system user. A well-known operating system allows users to subdivide the display screen into various horizontal or vertical split display frames. This operating system allows the user to flexibly define what is needed The number and structure of the display frame, but it will apply the paper size to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21 × 297 mm). 5. Description of the invention Special—The first file of this file > ~ the name of the slot. Each of the monitors repeats this rather tedious procedure. The parent.4 does not have to use the nr system to check the amount of solid wire, but the user Can square = the operation of throwing changes the arrangement of each other. Because the number of these squares! Has been fixed, the system lacks the flexibility required for reading. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention can overcome the prior art The disadvantages listed in the table and the management method that can be used as an official display of a window with a working area that includes at least one window frame. The display-〇〇 颏 incompatibility includes at least one window frame. It is defined as the active or focus window grid. If the user wants to increase the number of windows on the display, he can call (inv〇ke) J (vie w bar), which includes a set of grid split control and —Open window table. According to the selection of one of the box splitting controls, the window box of _ will be divided into two boxes and the contents of the focus window box will be allocated to the first of the two boxes. The user can control the contents of the other window boxes by selecting one of the open windows from the table of the selected window bar. The selected window will be assigned to the other window box.

The proper noun computer program in this article refers to any verbal code or arbitrary representation of marks in the instruction set, in order to promote a system with information processing capabilities to directly or in different data types into another — Language and / or copy to perform a specific function. Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention is a method for managing windows in a computer system 10 including a system unit 12 and a screen or display 14. A computer user can arrange grids to display individual windows in the working area 16 of the display, designate windows to the desired squares, and exchange these windows with a series of simple, intuitive operations. The main physical elements of the general-purpose computer system of the present invention, which can be implemented by appropriate programming, shown in FIG. 2 are shown. The computer system includes a central processing unit (CPU) subsystem 20 having a processor and supporting temporary storage, cache, and logic circuits. The computer system also includes a random access memory 22, a hard disk 24, and an optical disc drive 26, such as a CCUR, CD_RW, or DVD drive. When the present invention is implemented as a program product, the operator of the system, which is initially on a removable magnetic or optical medium, can usually be installed on the hard disk 24. Once Yuancheng is initially installed, the program can be transferred from hard disk M to the machine memory 2 when needed. In addition, when needed, the program can be loaded directly into the random access memory 22 from an optical 'chip installed in the optical disc drive 26. The computer system also includes a system input / output (1/0) adapter 28 to support connection with standard system components, such as a keyboard 30 cursor device 32 and the paper size applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) 539959 A7 _____ B7 V. Description of the invention (6) Video display 1134. Finally, the computer line includes a network interface card 36 to provide interface with other network devices. First, reference will be made to the description of the display appearance modification of the present invention, and then reference will be made to describe the method steps, which are used to produce the cost: this month :: change 'flowchart. As shown in Figure 3, the initial or preset appearance of the display includes a single view (View 丨) occupying the entire work area of the display. In this view, the window bar is described in more detail below, as it is hidden from the right edge of the display. When hidden, dot-shaped slender strips (Unn strip of pels) 38 are used, which include longitudinal glyphs or images to represent the window strip. According to the present invention, the user can change the appearance of the working area of the display by invoking or arousing the window bar, and preferably by moving the cursor on the bar 38. In one implementation of the present invention, when a cursor exists on the side bar 38, the window bar will automatically expand or appear. In another implementation, the view bar will continue to be hidden until the user performs a selection operation, such as tapping a cursor control device, usually a mouse, and pressing one of the buttons. The work area shown in Fig. 4 is when the window bar appears by the method described above. The window bar includes a grid · splitting control, especially the first pair of presses 40 used to divide a window grid that already exists in the work area into 2 vertically spaced grids and to- The viewport grid of the work area is divided into a second pair of buttons 42 of 2 horizontally spaced grids. The grid_segment control is only effective for the grid in use. It is sometimes called a grid with focus or a focus grid or a focus window grid. In Figure 4, VIEW 1 is the only grid. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X 297). 539959 A7 _______B7 V. Description of the invention (7) and the default grid for the focus window . The square-split control doesn't just decide to divide the FocusView® grid horizontally or vertically. Depending on which of the two buttons in the button group is pressed, this control determines whether the newly generated square is placed right next to the existing square or left (or above or below). With particular reference to FIG. 4, it can be found that the right-facing triangle in the horizontal grid-split control 42 is selected. Due to this selection, a second window grid (VIEW 2) will be generated in the right workspace of the existing VIEW. The viewport originally contained in VIEW! Will still be assigned to that box. The system user can select the content of the new window box (VIEW 2) in the table 44 of the open window in the window bar. The system shown in Fig. 6 shows the situation of the working area of the display after highlighting a specific window of the newly generated grid, VIEW 2, with a cursor. Fig. 6 is a schematic view of the work area in which VIEWS 1 and 2 are placed to the left and right. In Figure 6, the window bar will return to the hidden state. When the cursor leaves the window bar area, the window bar will be automatically hidden or, depending on the purpose of the system implementer, it may not be hidden until the user performs some active deselection operations (actlve deselection operatl〇n ), For example, by tapping a button in the cursor control device. It should be noted that the system shown in Figure 6 automatically selects VIEW 2 as the focus grid, because users of the system that set the VIEW 2 grid may do so because they need to immediately use this window for work. If the user needs, you can easily move the cloud by clicking the window in the title bar!! Used as the focus window. Although Figure 6 shows only two squares, the user has the option to generate any number of additional windows. For example, suppose VIEW 2 is still the poly -10-

Description of the invention (8) Focal grid 'The user can use the vertical grid segmentation control to divide the grid into two smaller vertically spaced grids, and then in the window bar table Select one of the open windows as the generated unused square. This process can be repeated any number of times, starting with the grid where the focus is significantly restricted. When the grid becomes smaller, less information can be presented to the user. The grid division control allows the user to simply create the required screen, and the window list that ‘r» constructs in the view bar allows the user to simply assign a specific window to any unused grid. If a user has generated a block-shaped window, he will judge whether the arrangement is what he or she wants. The present invention allows the user to simply re-arrange the window without changing the structure of the grid. Referring to FIG. 7, view 1 is assigned to a large square and ¥ 1 £ 2 and VIEW 3 are each assigned to a small square. If a user judges that VIEW 2 should be assigned a larger box, he can use the tap-drag-and-drop operation to exchange the window. Place the cursor over one of the windows to be swapped and press one of the device buttons and then press and hold when the cursor moves to the other of the two squares to be swapped. Release the device button to swap the two windows. The final result of * VIEW 2 shown in Figure 8 appears on a larger grid and view appears on the bottom left of the screen. Although the figure shows the exchanged squares in a continuous manner, it is not necessary for the present invention. The two squares that are exchanged can be separated from each other by using more than one intermediate square. The window to be exchanged will be determined independently by first pressing the cursor position of the device and releasing the cursor position of the device.

Description of the invention (9 Turning back to Figure 4, the window bar shown has two additional controls 4 & and 48 have not been discussed previously. As mentioned earlier, the implementation of the system can be used when When the cursor is removed from the window bar area, the window bar will be automatically hidden (disappeared). In some cases, the user may not want the window bar to disappear automatically. Control 49 is a "pin" control. When selected, it will lock the window bar in a visible state regardless of the current position of the cursor. Once the window bar is locked in a visible state, it cannot be hidden until a positive The action is to reset the suppression control. The appropriate forward action is to tap the suppression control and similar actions. Control 48 is a separate control. When activated, it will select and disassemble the selected window ( t〇 ^ off) "or remove it from the current grid and put it into a separate window, its movement has nothing to do with other block arrangement grids. Figure 9 shows the grid structure of the setup window and Specified View A flow chart of the method steps that need to be performed in the process of windowing each square in the structure. The initial step of 50 in this process is to generate a preset single window showing the focus of the window and the hidden window. It consists of dot-like elongated bars. After generating the preset display, the system monitors the position of the cursor in step 52. Once it is detected that the cursor is above the hidden window bar, the window bar will be displayed at Reveal or appear in step 54 and the system will wait for one of the grid split controls to be selected. Once step 5 6 detects that one of the grid split controls has been selected, it will set the video buffer of the display to occupy the original The two different squares allocated to the focused square. Of course, whether the new squares are arranged side by side or up or down will be related to the selected square control. -12-Paper Size Applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 public love) 539959 A7 B7 Five invention descriptions (10 in step 60 'Information included in the window in the currently focused grid Assigned to one of the two video buffers. Similarly, the assignment will be related to which grid control was selected when the two new parties were set. Then the system will enter a waiting state during which Control the state and condition of the cursor to determine whether one of the open windows in the window table in the window bar has been selected. Once it is detected in step 62 that an open window has been selected, the data of the selected window will be Step 64: Load the second one of the two newly generated squares. As mentioned earlier, the user of the system determines the number of times the program needs to be executed to meet his or her wishes. This shows the block structure of the work area. Figure 10 shows a flowchart of the steps required to perform the window swapping operations discussed earlier. The initial step 70 of the program will determine whether a special key or button is pressed when the cursor is positioned on an existing square in 苴; or when it is detected that the key or button has been pressed, the system will The S cursor will be monitored to determine whether the same key or button is released after the cursor is moved to another existing square. If Test 72 shows that the key has been released on the second square, it means that the tribute for the two affected windows will be exchanged between the first and second squares. The preferred specific examples of the present invention have been described—for those skilled in the art, they can make various modifications and amendments after learning this discovery. Therefore, it is hoped that the scope of the accompanying patent application can include specific examples and all changes and corrections within the scope of the present invention, such as ^ 4d r, user, product, and target.
