Abstract

Mounted on a computer screen is a function of displaying a multiple-screen providing one or a plurality of translucent layers that can be reduced, deformed and on-off controlled. The multiple-screen can display any information, such as the Internet, DVD, CD-ROM, video and TV screens, or functions/operations necessary for running a computer, a computer function operation being enable on a screen using a background other than a multiple-screen. As required, a gray level of a multiple-screen can be changed layer by layer.

Description

明 細 書 マルチプルスクリーン 技術分野  Description Multiple screen Technical field
この発明は、 コンピュータ (その他これに類する情報を表示することが出来る様々な機 器を含む) のデスクトツプ上に仮想的にもう 1枚若しくは複数枚のソフトウェアによって 構成されるマルチプルスクリーンを設置表示し、 既存のデスクトップの機能を損なうこと なく、 マルチプルスクリーン上に様々な情報を表示させ、 またそのマルチプルスクリーン を半透明状態にすることにより、 そのマルチプルスクリーン上に情報を表示させながら既 存のデスクトップ上のタスク (ワープロ、 表計算ソフトなど) を通常どおり行う事ができ ることを特徴とする情報の表示方法に関する。 背景技術  The present invention installs and displays a virtual multiple screen composed of one or more pieces of software on a desktop of a computer (including various devices capable of displaying similar information), By displaying various information on the multiple screen without impairing the functions of the existing desktop, and by making the multiple screen translucent, the information on the existing desktop can be displayed while displaying the information on the multiple screen. It relates to a method of displaying information, which enables tasks (word processing, spreadsheet software, etc.) to be performed as usual. Background art
従来のコンピュータは、 デスクトップ画面を 1つ有し、 このデスクトップ画面上でヮー プロ、 表計算、 その他のタスクを行うというものであった。 また、 デスクトップ画面と性 格は異なるがスクリーンセィバーという機能はあった。 スクリーンセィバー機能はコンビ ユータの画面焼きつき防止、 またコンピュータを不使用時にのみ情報を表示する機能を持 つという種類のものである。 マルチプルスクリーンは、 既存のコンピュータデスクトップ 上に仮想的にもう 1枚若しくは複数枚のソフトウェアによって構成されるスクリーンを置 き、 ここに様々な映像ソースその他の画像 (ワープロソフト等のタスク表示を含む) を映 し出すことができる機能を有するものである。 また、 マルチプルスクリーンはユーザーの 意思により以下の状態に設定できる。  Conventional computers had a single desktop screen on which desktops, spreadsheets, and other tasks were performed. In addition, it had a screen saver function, although its characteristics were different from those of the desktop screen. The screen saver function is of a type that has the function of preventing screen burn-in of the computer and displaying information only when the computer is not in use. Multiple screens place a virtual screen of one or more pieces of software on an existing computer desktop where various video sources and other images (including task displays such as word processing software) are displayed. It has a function that can be displayed. The multiple screen can be set to the following states according to the user's intention.
①マルチプルスクリーンを半透明状態にする事  ① Make the multiple screen translucent

Claims

②特定のキーを押すと (押しながら行う行為を含む) マルチプルスクリーンを表示しな がら既存のコンピュータ等の機能を使用することができる。 若しくはその逆で、 特定 のキーを押す (押しながら行う行為を含む) とマルチプルスクリーン上で行う事が出 来る機能を操作できる。 その他のトリガ動作によって各々の機能動作をきりかえるこ とができる。  (2) When a specific key is pressed (including the action performed while pressing it), the functions of the existing computer can be used while displaying the multiple screen. Or vice versa, you can operate functions that can be performed on multiple screens by pressing a specific key (including the act of holding down). Each function operation can be changed by another trigger operation.
例:マウスをダブルクリックする事により既存のデスクトツプ上で行うことができる機能とマル チプルスクリーン上で行う事ができる機能をきりかえることが出来る。  Example: By double-clicking the mouse, you can switch between the functions that can be performed on the existing desktop and the functions that can be performed on the multiple screen.
例 2:シフトボタンを押しながら行うクリックはマルチプルスクリーン上で行うことができる機 能の動作、 単独のマウスクリックは、 通常のデスクトップ上で行うことができる機能の動作 Example 2: Clicking while holding down the shift button is an operation of a function that can be performed on the multiple screen. A single mouse click is an operation of a function that can be performed on a normal desktop.
③マルチプルスクリーンを拡大若しくは縮小することができる。 (3) Multiple screens can be enlarged or reduced.
④マルチプルスクリーンを変形させることができる。 . ④ Multiple screens can be transformed. .
⑤マルチプルスクリーンを起動 ·終了することができる。 起動 You can start and end multiple screens.
発明の開示 Disclosure of the invention
マルチプルスクリーンは、 通常のコンピュータの画面に仮想的にソフトウエアによって 構成される 1枚若しくは複数枚のスクリーンをレイヤー状に置き、 ここに T V画像若しく は D VD、 C D— R OMその他の情報ソース、 インタ一ネットを介して情報を得ることが 出きる画像、 映像、 その他のあらゆる情報を表示させることができる。 このマルチプルス クリーンはユーザーの意思により、 又は一定の条件の元に自動的に半透明状態にすること ができる機能を有する。 また、 マルチプルスクリーンはそれ自信を表示させた状態で、 既 存のデスクトップで行うことができる全ての機能を行う事が出来る為、 今までの操作性を  Multiple screens consist of one or more screens, which are virtually composed of software, arranged in layers on a normal computer screen, and are used to store TV images or DVDs, CDs, ROMs, and other information sources. Images, videos, and any other information that can be obtained via the Internet can be displayed. This multiple screen has a function that can be made to be semi-transparent automatically according to the user's intention or under certain conditions. In addition, the multiple screen can perform all functions that can be performed with the existing desktop while displaying the self-confidence.
